(« »: « // »). Valery Bryusov (1873 - 1924) - Russian poet, prose writer, playwright, translator, literary critic, literary critic and historian.

One of the founders of Russian symbolism. Bryusov's organizational role in Russian symbolism and in Russian modernism in general is very significant.

The "Vesy" headed by him. Became the most careful in the selection of material and an authoritative modernist magazine opposed to the eclectic and did not have. A clear program "Pass" and "Golden Fleece".

Bryusov influenced by advice and criticism on the work of very many younger poets. Almost all of them go through the stage of one or another "imitation of Bryusov". He enjoyed great prestige both among his peers. The Symbolists, and among literary youth, had a reputation as a strict, impeccable "master", creating the poetry of a "magician". A "priest" of culture, and among Acmeists (Nikolai Gumilyov, Zenkevich, Mandelstam), and futurists (Pasternak, Shershenevich and others).

Literary critic Mikhail Gasparov assesses the role of Bryusov in Russian modernist culture as the role of a defeated teacher of victorious pupils. Who influenced the creativity of an entire generation. In Bryusov's poems, the reader is faced with opposite principles: life-affirming - love, calls for the "conquest" of life by labor, for the struggle.

For existence, for creation - and pessimistic. Bryusov's moods are sometimes contradictory; they replace each other without transitions. In his poetry, Bryusov either strives for innovation. Then again goes back to the time-tested forms of the classics. Despite the desire for classical forms, Bryusov's work is still not Empire, but modern.

Which has absorbed contradictory qualities. In it we see a fusion of qualities that are difficult to combine.
