Eduard Bagritsky. Voronin L.

The name of the poet Eduard Bagritsky was recently perceived by one -sidedly - as a tribune poet, an active participant in the revolutionary battles, glorifying the conquests of October and exposed his enemies. The book proposed to readers involves documentary materials, memoirs and poetic evidence, allowing you to take a fresh look at the life and work of a talented romantic poet, to separate legends about it from real events. The author recreates the image of a man awakened by the February revolution, its democratic conquests and therefore painfully perceived the straightforwardness and cruelty of the imposed ideology. “If you read Bagritsky’s poems,” the poet and critic Georgy Adamovich rightly noted, “you will understand that“ “Politics” was not at all significant and characteristic that, occupying one or another position in this area, he was only inferior to the requirements of the environment. Naturally, it was precisely for him to take just such a position that the environment satisfied: at this price he mined freedom to be himself in the main one ” - in the poetic achievements of his best works.
