Silver Age

Disillusioned idealists, dreamers, and life-affirmers were representatives of poetic movements at the end of the 19th century. The Silver Age became an era of new trends that touched not only literature, music, painting, but also other spheres of art. It was a period of departure from traditional creative methods and the formation of poetic directions. The mysticism, subtexts, and musical sound of the symbolists A. Blok and K. Balmont. The simplicity of language, clarity of images, references to ancient epochs of the acmeists N. Gumilev and O. Mandelstam. Experiments with language and form in the poems of the futurists I. Severianin and V. Mayakovsky are an integral part of Russian poetry, a rich legacy of their time.
