Silver Age

The Silver Age of Russian poetry is the era of the emergence of new artistic directions, a fresh perspective on humanity and the history of the country, a time of searching for alternative forms of reflecting the world in poetic art. This collection includes significant works by outstanding poets of that time, poems that became symbols of their creativity and laid the foundations for new literary movements. The stanzas of representatives of Russian symbolism—K. Balmont and A. Blok, passages from acmeists—N. Gumilyov and O. Mandelstam, vibrant rhymes of futurists—I. Severyanin and V. Mayakovsky—are an integral part of the rich heritage of Russian poetry.

The poetic lines combined with biographical sketches create vivid images and lines of fate that form a holistic picture of the era.
