Networks of the 144 Russian plays were extracted and visualised using our Python script collection "dramavis".
The unusual view from the digital stratosphere can reveal macrostructures. What is visible from such a distance are general shifts from simple network structures to more complex ones throughout the two centuries between Sumarokov's tragedy "Horev" (1747) and Mayakovsky's and Bulgakov's plays of the 1920s and 1930s.
