“Yes, I must admit that he was not alien to the old, now funny prejudices: love for the homeland, the consciousness of living duty to her and a sense of personal honor. And even older it was that he was always ready to pay his own life on these three points, ”Kuprin wrote about Nikolai Gumilyov. When Russia entered the First World War, the poet could not stay away and went to the front as a volunteer. Gumilyov survived the test of war with honor. And although he was not destined to find out the joy of victory, he won the next battle with himself. But the most important thing is that among blood, dirt, cruelty and hatred Nikolai Stepanovich remained a knight, faithful old prejudices. He was one of the few who knew how to poetize the war, and almost the only writer of the Silver Age, who left such a detailed and honest story about his service in the warring army. His Notes of the Cavalryist were published in newspapers in 1915-1916 and aroused great interest among the reading public. In this book, with the help of various texts and documents, the poet’s fighting path is completely recreated from the first days of the war to the Brest world
