Soviet poets of different epochs

Soviet poets who created during the junction of the XIX and XX centuries, as well as those who wrote in the 60s of the last century, can rightfully be called revolutionaries of Russian literature. The Silver Age gave us such names as Balmont, Blok, Gumilev, Mandelstam, Akhmatova, Sologub, Bryusov, etc. At the same time, we learned about Yesenin, Tsvetaeva, Mayakovsky, Voloshin, Severyanin.

Symbolists and romantics of the late nineteenth century introduced a new word in poetry. Some sang of earthly existence, others, on the contrary, saw a transfiguration in religion. Futurists sought to keep pace with the creators of Europe, they were expressive in their quest for rebellion and outrageous, brought new energy into the literature of that time.

Poems of Soviet poets reflect the spirit of the times, the political situation of the country, the mood of the people. Literature, like the country, after the revolution of 1917 became multinational, combining different characters and styles of creators. In the poems of the poets of that period, we can see both the manifested Leninist ideology, the moods of the proletariat, and the sufferings of the bourgeoisie.

Soviet poets of the Silver Age

The most significant creators of the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. Can be called acmeists Akhmatova, Zenkevich, Gumilev, Mandelstam. Their impetus for rapprochement was opposition to symbolism, the desire to get rid of its utopian theories. They appreciated the picturesque images, detailed compositions, the aesthetics of fragile things. They were united before the First World War, later Soviet poets went their separate ways.

Futurists also made a great contribution to literature. In this style worked Khlebnikov, Burliuk, Kamensky. Poets viewed art as a problem and changed the attitude of people towards the intelligibility and incomprehensibility of creativity. They are repulsed from passive perception to world outlook, forcing readers to think not literally, but artistically, fantastically.

As for writers whose works are familiar to us from school: Tsvetaeva, Yesenin, Mayakovsky, their destinies can not be called simple. These Soviet poets experienced all the consequences of revolutions and political repressions on their own , faced with a lack of understanding of the peoples and authorities, but struggled to the end for their work and deserved worldwide glory.

Soviet poet of the times "thaw"

After Stalin's death, when Nikita Khrushchev came to power , the "thaw" period came. It was at this time that the poets were able to speak openly, without hesitation in convictions and censorship. Many figures who worked before the war, published their works only in the 60's. For example, Yevtushenko, Voznesensky, Okudzhava became a real political sensation of the time. They collected the halls of several tens of thousands of people, but few understood them. Of course, many of the literary creators of the second half of the twentieth century affected politics in their works, but this was not a provocation or a condemnation of Stalinism. So the poets expressed their opinion in a sarcastic poetic form. Their views were shared by many intellectuals and educated people, and they were also accepted by the workers. Poets of the 60s managed to conquer the entire population without exception.
