Note:
The Silver Age is not a chronological period.
At least not just the period.
And this is not the sum of literary trends.
Rather, the concept of the "Silver Age" is appropriate to apply to the way of thinking.
The atmosphere of the Silver Age
At the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, Russia was experiencing an intense intellectual upsurge, especially vividly manifested in philosophy and poetry.
The philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev (read about him here) called this time the Russian cultural Renaissance.
According to Berdyaev's contemporary Sergei Makovsky, it is Berdyaev who belongs to another, more well known definition of this period — the "Silver Age".
According to other sources, the phrase "Silver Age" was first used in 1929 by the poet Nikolai Otsup.
Russian Russian poetry is not so much a scientific concept as an emotional one, which immediately evokes associations with another short period in the history of Russian culture — with the "golden age", the Pushkin era of Russian poetry (the first third of the XIX century).
"Now it is difficult to imagine the atmosphere of that time, "Nikolai Berdyaev wrote about the Silver Age in his" philosophical autobiography ""Self knowledge".
Russian Russian culture Much of the creative upsurge of that time was included in the further development of Russian culture and is now the property of all Russian cultural people.
But then there was intoxication with creative enthusiasm, novelty, tension, struggle, challenge.
During these years, many gifts were sent to Russia.
This was the era of the awakening of independent philosophical thought in Russia, the flowering of poetry and the aggravation of aesthetic sensuality, religious anxiety and search, interest in mysticism and the occult.
New souls appeared, new sources of creative life were discovered, new dawns were seen, a sense of sunset and death was combined with the hope of a transformation of life.
But everything happened in a rather closed circle..."
The Silver Age as a period and way of thinking
The art and philosophy of the Silver Age were distinguished by elitism, intellectualism.
Therefore, it is impossible to identify all the poetry of the late XIX early XX century with the Silver Age.
This is a narrower concept.
Sometimes, however, when trying to determine the essence of the ideological content of the Silver Age through formal signs (literary trends and groupings, socio political subtexts and contexts), researchers mistakenly confuse them.
In fact, within the chronological boundaries of this period, the most diverse phenomena in origin and aesthetic orientation coexisted: modernist trends, poetry of the classical realistic tradition, peasant, proletarian, satirical poetry...
But the Silver Age is not a chronological period.
At least not just the period.
And this is not the sum of literary trends.
Rather, the concept of the "Silver Age" is appropriate to apply to the way of thinking, which, being characteristic of artists who were at enmity with each other during their lifetime, eventually merged them in the minds of their descendants into a kind of inseparable pleiad that formed the specific atmosphere of the Silver Age, about which Berdyaev wrote.
Poets of the Silver Age
The names of the poets who formed the spiritual core of the Silver Age are known to everyone: Valery Bryusov, Fyodor Sologub, Innokenty Annensky, Alexander Blok, Maximilian Voloshin, Andrey Bely, Konstantin Balmont, Anna Akhmatova, Nikolai Gumilev, Marina Tsvetaeva, Vyacheslav Ivanov, Igor Severyanin, Boris Pasternak, Georgy Ivanov and many others.
In the most concentrated form, the atmosphere of the Silver Age was expressed in the first decade and a half of the twentieth century.
It was the heyday of Russian modern literature in all the diversity of its artistic, philosophical, religious searches and discoveries.
The First World War, the February bourgeois Democratic and October Socialist revolutions partly provoked, partly formed this cultural context, and partly were provoked and formed by it.
Representatives of the Silver Age (and Russian Art Nouveau in general) sought to overcome positivism, abandon the legacy of the" sixties", rejected materialism, as well as idealistic philosophy.
The poets of the Silver Age also sought to overcome the attempts of the second half of the XIX century to explain human behavior by social conditions, the environment and continued the traditions of Russian poetry, for which a person was important in itself, his thoughts and feelings are important, his attitude to eternity, to God, to Love and Death in a philosophical, metaphysical sense.
The poets of the Silver Age, both in their artistic work and in theoretical articles and statements, questioned the idea of progress for literature.
For example, one of the brightest creators of the Silver Age, Osip Mandelstam, wrote that the idea of progress is "the most disgusting kind of school ignorance."
Alexander Blok in 1910 stated: "The sun of naive realism has set; it is impossible to comprehend anything outside of symbolism."
The poets of the Silver Age believed in art, in the power of the word.
Therefore, for their creativity, it is indicative of immersion in the element of the word, the search for new means of expression.
They cared not only about the meaning, but also about the style — for them, the sound, the music of the word and full immersion in the elements were important.
This immersion led to the cult of life creation (the inseparability of the creator's personality and his art).
And almost always in this regard, the poets of the Silver Age were unhappy in their personal lives, and many of them ended badly.
Peer Gynt, the hero of our time On March 20, 1828, the great Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen was born
There is a literary stereotype: "Henrik Ibsen portrayed a typical person of the XIX century in the image of Per Gynt."
A kind of irresponsible opportunist and generally a trash person.

Not an anniversary.

Now the poet is: interesting, curious, famous, talented, lively classic, verlibrist, writing in such a tradition, for a narrow circle, for the crowd, etc.
There are different heroes and antiheroes in different poetic parties.
There are innumerable poets today.

This is pure poetry.

Why are we so concerned about the decline of the population?
Show her a mature age And a cheerful look in contentment, Joy clarity on the forehead And an ascended head.
This is Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov, "Conversation with Anacreon" (1756).

Ilya Kalinin Moscow Ring Road of the Russian History of the MKAD as our Sonderweg The current political power does not feel any need for a Soviet symbolic resource to justify its own interests.
It is alien to her both rhetorically and in fact; what little she inherited from the previous reformist generation of Democrats, apart from selective respect for private property, is an almost unconscious internal dislike for the Soviet past.
