Although the Silver Age may be said to have truly begun with the appearance of Alexander Blok 's "Verses to the Beautiful Lady", some scholars have extended its chronological framework to include the works of the 1890s, starting with Nikolai Minsky 's manifesto "With the light of conscience" (1890), Dmitri Merezhkovsky 's treatise "About the reasons for the decline of contemporary Russian literature" (1893) and Valery Bryusov 's almanac "Russian symbolists" (1894). Although the Silver Age was dominated by the artistic movements of Russian Symbolism , Acmeism , and Russian Futurism , there flourished innumerable other poetic schools, such as ''Mystic Anarchism''. There were also such poets as Ivan Bunin and Marina Tsvetayeva who refused to align themselves with any of these movements. Alexander Blok emerged as the leading poet, respected by virtually everyone. The poetic careers of Anna Akhmatova , Boris Pasternak , and Osip Mandelshtam , all of them spanning many decades, were also launched during that period. The Silver Age ended after the Russian Civil War . Blok's death and Nikolai Gumilev 's execution in 1921 , as well as the appearance of the highly influential Pasternak collection, ''My Sister is Life'' (1922), marked the end of the era. The Silver Age was a golden era nostalgically looked back to by emigre poets, led by Georgy Ivanov in Paris and Vladislav Khodasevich in Berlin . |
