Soviet poets who worked at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as those who were engaged in writing in the 60s of the last century, can rightly be called revolutionaries of Russian literature. The Silver Age gave us such names as Balmont, Blok, Gumilyov, Mandelstam, Akhmatova, Sologub, Bryusov, etc. At the same time, we learned about Yesenin, Tsvetaeva, Mayakovsky, Voloshin, Severyanin.

The symbolists and romantics of the late nineteenth century brought a new word to poetry. Some sang of earthly existence, others, on the contrary, saw a transformation in religion. The Futurists strove to keep pace with the creators of Europe, they were expressive in their desire for rebellion and outrageousness, they brought new energy into the literature of that time.

The poems of Soviet poets reflect the spirit of the times, the political situation of the country, and the moods of the peoples. Literature, like the country, after a year became multinational, combining different characters and styles of creators. In the poems of the poets of that period, we can see the fiercely Leninist ideology that manifested itself, and the mood of the proletariat, and the suffering of the bourgeoisie.

Soviet poets of the Silver Age

The most significant creators of the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. we can name acmeists Akhmatova, Zenkevich, Gumilyov, Mandelstam. Their motive for rapprochement was opposition to symbolism, the desire to get rid of its utopian theories. They valued pictorial images, detailed compositions, the aesthetics of fragile things. They were united until later the Soviet poets each went their own way.

The Futurists also made a great contribution to literature. Khlebnikov, Burliuk, Kamensky worked in this style. Poets considered art as a problem and changed people's attitude to the intelligibility and incomprehensibility of creativity. They start from passive perception to worldview, forcing readers to think not literally, but artistically, fantasy.

As for the writers whose work has been familiar to us since school: Tsvetaeva, Yesenin, Mayakovsky, their fates cannot be called simple. These Soviet poets survived all the consequences of the revolutions and faced misunderstanding of the peoples and authorities, but fought to the end for their cause and deserved worldwide fame.

Soviet poet during the "thaw"

After the thaw period came to power. It was at this time that poets got the opportunity to speak openly, not embarrassed by condemnation and censorship. Many figures who worked even before the war published their works only in the 60s. So, for example, Yevtushenko, Voznesensky, Okudzhava became a real political sensation of that time. They gathered 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 20th century touched upon politics in their works, but this was not a provocation or 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 the workers also accepted them. The poets of the 60s managed to conquer the entire population without exception.

Poetry in our country has long enjoyed great popularity. Books with favorite poems have always been the objects of intense search for poetry lovers. Poems were written down in notebooks and albums, learned by heart. The 19th century, which became the golden age of Russian poetry, gave the world a huge galaxy of great poets. The baton was continued by the 20th century. Soviet poetry, after experiments in the form of numerous groups and movements of the twenties, gave the world such works that are still popular and in demand. Many of the poems became songs that are still sung to this day. And just like with songs, all attempts to cover the shadow of oblivion of wonderful poets do not bring success. As soon as the “reformers” do not invent themselves: they give Nobel and other prizes to miserable graphomaniacs, and include in school curricula rhymes imposed on society by some poets of the 30s and 40s, whose “creativity” is absolutely alien to the bulk of people, since it pursues the interests of completely different people, and even has the most modest attitude to real poetry, and they publish these "works" in thousands of copies, ceasing, in turn, to publish Soviet poets. All in vain! People read Russian and Soviet poets and... don't want to read "innovators". This page contains poems by Soviet poets that are not printed today. After reading them, one can understand into what swamp the culture of our days has slipped and ask the question - has it remained at all?
