An Outline of Russian Symbolism

Publication at Catholic Theological Faculty, Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

Next to the anvant-gard movements there is also the trend of the anri-modern modernism (Milan Kundera). Against the emancipatory ideas of the avant-garde it continues Romantic cosmic visions.

Osip Mandelstam, Andrej Platonov and Marina Cvetajeva are the most important representatives of this line in Russia. They see the Russian revolution as a cosmic element rather than a political event.
