ANSWER: biomechanics [or biomechanical theater; or biomekhanika]

ANSWER: Nikolai [accept Nikolai Gogol; accept Nikolai Erdman]
[10m] Meyerhold was arrested in 1939, as his avant-garde theater was pejoratively given this label. Yury Tynyanov and Viktor Shklovsky belonged to a school of literary theory with this name that demarcated fabula and syuzhet (“syoo-ZHET”).
