Silver Age

Disillusioned idealists, dreamers, and life creators — representatives of poetic movements at the end of the 19th century. The Silver Age became an era of new trends, affecting not only literature, music, and painting but also other spheres of art. This period marked a departure from traditional creative methods and the formation of poetic directions. Mysticism, subtext, and the musical sound of symbolists A. Blok and K. Balmont. Simplicity of language, clarity of images, references to ancient eras of acmeists N. Gumilev and O. Mandelstam. Experiments with language and form of poems by futurists I. Severyanin and V. Mayakovsky are an essential part of Russian poetry, a rich legacy of its time.
