The end of the XIX and the beginning of the twentieth century, the Russian Empire is experiencing the highest cultural and economic rise, the relations between the sexes and between the estates have changed, otherwise they began to relate to issues of love and marriage, and the most popular word became "freedom". Freedom in everything, from statements on the topic of politics to moral issues. Love was valued above marriage, passion above duty, decadence, decadence came into fashion, with its cult of contention and gravity to death.
But it was on this toxic soil that the magnificent flowers of the Silver Age rose. Perhaps, creative people in Russia have never had such bright and tragic biographies, so confusing, vicious and exalted personal relations, like people who created the culture of the line of the centuries: Alexander Blok and Mikhail Vrubel, Mirra Lokhvitskaya and Konstantin Balmont, Anna Akhmatova and Nikolai Gumilev, Vera Karati and Vaclav Nizhinsky, Nadezhda Taffy and Nadezhda Lamanova - poets, artists, actors, fashion designers, ballet dancers ... From fanciful arabesques, their fate develops a sparkling canvas of the Russian Silver Age
