The Silver Age is a bright and contradictory period in the history of Russian literature, characterized by a flourishing of poetry, ideas of synthesizing arts, life-affirming creativity, religious-philosophical quests, and luxurious salon culture. It is opened by symbolism (which at its early stages is close to decadence), then delicately replaced by acmeism, and then boldly bursts onto the deck of modernity with futurism.
In this collection, we deliberately expand the chronological boundaries of this era and include more recent phenomena (imagism, OBERIU), as they are a direct branch of futurism.
The turn of the century is a time of transition marked by many significant events and discoveries. It is not only a surge in scientific and technical knowledge, the emergence of cinema, the spread of Nietzsche's philosophy, but also a crisis state before the start of World War I and the revolution. Such periods are characterized by a change of paradigms and a sense of hope for renewal, including in culture and language. Understanding this diverse era is particularly aided by the format of a "book within a book," where poems are accompanied by comments and various illustrations by artists of that time, many of whom were involved in the design of journals and poetry collections.
