"The Poet and His Glory"

The Northerner consciously cultivated his image as an exquisite poet-idol. He appeared at poetry evenings with an oricheda in his buttonhole, called his poems “poets,” and read in a melodious rhythm that corresponded to their pronounced musicality.

“The Poet and His Glory” - this topic occupied an important place in Severyanin’s work. The famous lines belong to him:

“I, the genius Igor Severyanin,
Intoxicated with his victory:
I'm completely screened!
I am completely confirmed!”

Slide 5

"Thunderous Goblet"

In 1913, Northerner published his first book in the Moscow publishing house "Grif". big book poems “The Thundering Cup”, with a foreword by F. Sologub.

In the first part of the collection, “The Lilac of My Spring,” childlike purity and spontaneity of feelings were combined with mannered aestheticism. The second part, “Lilac Ice Cream,” was devoted to the theme of civilization’s intervention in the world of natural human relations.

In the third part, “Behind the String Fence of the Lyre,” the poet found his ideal in art and nature ennobled by man. This is evidenced by the names of the poems - “Vrubel”, “Koktebel”, etc. The northerner asserted in his poems the idea that the world will be saved thanks to beauty and poetry.

The fourth part of the collection is a poetic manifesto of egofuturism. “I am the king of a country that does not exist,” said the Northerner in this part of “The Thundering Cup.” The release of “The Thundering Cup” made Severyanin an idol of the reading public. Over the course of two years, the book went through seven editions.

Slide 6

In the “Auto-Preface” to the collection “The Thundering Cup” I. Severyanin admitted: “... I, in my own way, treat my poems very strictly and publish only those poems that I have not destroyed, i.e. vital. I work a lot on the poem, guided only by intuition...”

Slide 7

Particularly popular were the “poetry concerts,” where Severyanin intoned his “poets,” intended more for the listener than for the reader: “Whoever did not listen to me did not comprehend me.” The poet appeared on stage in a long, narrow-waisted frock coat the color of a raven's wing. He stood straight, looked down at the audience, shaking his black curls hanging over his forehead.

Slide 8

Group of egofuturists

In 1911, Severyanin created a group of egofuturists. The name “egofuturism” puts the “ego” at the center, i.e. The “I” of the poet, hence the self-aggrandizement that irritated many. The northerner tried to update the poetic language, introducing neologisms and using the most daring metaphors. Neologisms are found at every turn in Severyanin’s poems: “fast-tempo”, “desolate”, “razazorenny”, “ohimniv”. In addition to neologisms, the poet uses unusual phrases: “you are so aesthetic”, “I am inspired by impulse”, “it’s time to popularize delights”, “waterfall heart”, etc.

Slide 9

The northerner put forward a program for the direction he invented.

• The soul is the only truth.
• Personal self-affirmation.
• Searching for the new without rejecting the old.
• Meaningful neologisms.
• Bold images, epithets.
• Fighting stereotypes.
• Diversity of the world.

Slide 10

Why did the poet attract his contemporary readers so much?

The northerner fascinated with the unusual, bright, new - sounds, sensations, colors, rhythms. He turned everyday life into a holiday, took him into an imaginary world of luxury and beauty.

Slide 11

Started in Russia Civil War found I. Severyanin in Estonia, where he remained until the end of his life. He lived in solitude in the fishing village of Toila. He managed to publish several poetry books, including “Falling Rapids” (1922), “The Nightingale” (1925), etc. In the poem “Classic Roses” (1925), the Northerner prophetically wrote:

“How beautiful, how fresh the roses were,
My country has thrown me into a coffin!”

Slide 12

“Today Igor Severyanin is dear and close to me... They laughed at his memory, they booed him, called him vulgar and salon, and all this offensive mess sounded during his lifetime. Fortunately, I still found the strength to figure it all out. And I gradually became his follower. And I saw that this is a poet...who has not soiled himself throughout his life with either fleeting political or any other passions.

Spring

I have known this area for eight years.
He left and came, but always
There is ice in this area
Inexhaustible water.
Full-flowing spring, full-sounding,
My dear, my natural spring,
Back to you (you can't get bored!)
I leaned down without being thrown away.
And they gave light to my eyes
Tears of proud happiness, and I
I exclaim: you are a symbol of Russia,
Exhausting jet!

Parents His father, Vasily Petrovich, was a military engineer (a native of the “Vladimir bourgeoisie”), who rose to the rank of staff captain, died in 1904 at the age of forty-four. His mother came from the famous noble family of the Shenshins, to which A.A. belonged. Fet (1820-1892), threads of kinship also connected her with the famous historian N.M. Karamzin (1766-1826). It is interesting, by the way, that on his mother’s side Igor Severyanin was related to A.M. Kollontai (1872-1952). In 1896, his parents divorced, and the future poet left with his father, who had retired by that time, to Cherepovets; shortly before my father's death, I visited him on Far East and in 1904 he settled with his mother in Gatchina.

First poems Graduated from four classes of the Cherepovets Real School. He began writing poetry at the age of 8. One of the first vivid impressions was falling in love with Zhenechka Gutsan (Zlata), who inspired the future poet. It was first published in the second (February) issue of the magazine “Leisure and Business” for 1905: there, under the name Igor Lotarev, the poem “The Death of Rurik” was published.

In 1896, Igor’s father, Vasily Petrovich Lotarev, lieutenant of the 1st railway battalion, brought his son to the Nelazskaya volost of the Cherepovets district of the Novgorod province, where his brother Mikhail Petrovich Lotarev and his sister Elizaveta Petrovna Zhurova had land holdings. On the advice of his brother, Vasily Petrovich enrolled his son in the Cherepovets real school. On weekends and holidays, Igor came to the estate of E.P. Zhurova Soyvola, which was located on the banks of the Suda near the Soyvola River. Near the village of Vladimirovka, two miles from Soyvoly, in 1899 M.P. Lotarev began construction of an estate.

On the advice of his brother, Vasily Petrovich enrolled his son in the Cherepovets real school. On weekends and holidays, Igor came to the estate of E.P. Zhurova Soyvola, which was located on the banks of the Suda near the Soyvola River. Near the village of Vladimirovka, two miles from Soyvoly, in 1899 M.P. Lotarev began construction of an estate.

Uncle's estate The large manor house was two-story, made of logs (later it was sheathed with planks), on a stone foundation. Near the house there was a park in which jasmine, barberry, lilac, acacia, spirea, rose hips, bird cherry, linden grew and there were flower beds. The place chosen for it was picturesque: surrounded by forests, on a high bank, washed by the waters of two rivers - the Suda and the Kemza flowing into it

“...my muse” Igor took an active part in all the amusements organized by the inhabitants of the estate” in “mushroom hikes”, amateur performances, in home evenings (faifoclocks, as he jokingly called them)... His uncle’s estate became dear and welcome to Igor the Severyanin: here he drew impressions for his poetic creativity, here - in the circle of kind and sweet relatives - he found respite from the worries and noisy life of the capital. He spoke about these places: “A poet must have folk roots that feed his inspiration. Here my muse appears to me.”

He immediately devoted himself selflessly to the first collections of literature, publishing thin brochures of poetry at his own expense and sending them out to editorial offices. On November 20, 1907 (Severyanin later celebrated this day annually) he met his main poetic teacher, Konstantin Fofanov (1862-1911), who was the first poet to appreciate his talent. In 1908, the first notes about brochures, published mainly by Severyanin himself, began to appear. In 1911, Valery Bryusov (1873-1924), then a poetic master, wrote him a friendly letter, approving the brochure “Electric Poems.” Another master of symbolism, Fyodor Sologub (Fyodor Kuzmich Teternikov, 1863-1927), accepted Active participation in the compilation of Igor Severyanin’s first large collection, “The Thundering Cup” (1913), accompanying it with an enthusiastic preface and dedicating a triolet to Igor Severyanin in 1912, beginning with the line “A new star is rising.” Then Fyodor Sologub invited the poet on a tour of Russia, starting joint performances in Minsk and ending in Kutaisi.

Egofuturism Igor Severyanin founded his own literary movement - egofuturism (back in 1911, "Prologue of Egofuturism"), the group of its adherents included Konstantin Olimpov (son of K.M. Fofanov, 1889-1940), Ivan Ignatiev (Ivan Vasilyevich Kazansky, 1892- 1914), Vadim Bayan (Vladimir Ivanovich Sidorov, 1880-1966), Vasilisk Gnedov (1890-1978) and Georgy Ivanov (1894-1958), who soon joined the Acmeists. In 1914, the Ego-Futurists, together with the Cubo-Futurists, D. Burliuk (1882-1907), V. Mayakovsky (1893-1930) and Vasily Kamensky (1884-1961), held the Futurism Olympics in Crimea.

War The outbreak of the First World War, although not immediately, changed public interests, shifted emphasis, and the pronounced hedonistic delight of Severyanin’s poetry was clearly out of place. At first, the poet even welcomed the war and was going to lead his fans “to Berlin,” but he quickly realized the horror of what was happening and again delved into personal experiences, further filling out the diary of his soul.

Estonia On February 27, 1918, at an evening at the Polytechnic Museum in Moscow, Igor-Severyanin was elected “King of Poets.” V. Mayakovsky was recognized as the second, V. Kamensky as the third. A few days later, the “king” left with his family on vacation to the Estonian seaside village of Toila, and in 1920 Estonia separated from Russia. Igor Severyanin found himself in forced emigration, but felt comfortable in the small “spruce” Toila with its peace and quiet, and fished a lot. Quite quickly he began performing again in Tallinn and other places.

Felissa The Northerner is also kept in Estonia by his marriage to Felissa Kruut. The poet lived with her for 16 years and this was the only legal marriage in his life. Igor the Severyanin was behind Felissa like behind a stone wall, she protected him from all everyday problems, and sometimes even saved him. Before his death, Severyanin recognized the break with Felissa in 1935 as a tragic mistake.

Emigration In the 20s, he naturally stayed out of politics (he called himself not an emigrant, but a summer resident) and instead of political speeches against Soviet power he writes pamphlets against the highest emigrant circles. The emigrants needed other poetry and other poets. Igor-Severyanin still wrote a lot and translated Estonian poets quite intensively: in 1919-1923. 9 new books are being published, including "The Nightingale". Since 1921, the poet has toured outside Estonia: 1922 - Berlin, 1923 - Finland, 1924 - Germany, Latvia, Czech Republic... In 1922-1925, Northerner wrote in a rather rare genre - autobiographical novels in verse: "Falling Rapids", "The Dew of the Orange Hour" and "Bells of the Cathedral of the Senses"

Latest collections The Northerner spends most of his time in Toila, fishing. His life passes more than modestly - in Everyday life he was content with little. In 1931, a collection of poems, “Classical Roses,” was published, summarizing the experience of 1922-1930. In 1930-1934, several tours of Europe took place, which were a resounding success, but publishers for the books could not be found. Northerner published a small collection of poems “Adriatic” (1932) at his own expense and tried to distribute it himself. The financial situation especially worsened by 1936, when, in addition, he broke off relations with Felissa Kruut and became friends with V.B. Korendi.

Death And in 1940, the poet admits that “now there are no publishers for real poems. There is no reader for them either. I write poems without writing them down, and I almost always forget.” The poet died on December 20, 1941 in German-occupied Tallinn from a heart attack, in the presence of his younger sister Vera Korendi (Estonized surname, actually Korenova), his last partner. and was buried there at the Alexander Nevsky cemetery. His lines are placed on the monument: How beautiful, how fresh the roses will be, thrown into my coffin by my country!

The fate of the estate On December 20, 1993, through the efforts of the administration of the Cherepovets region and employees of the Cherepovets Museum Association, an exhibition dedicated to I.-Severyanin was opened in the sanatorium. On January 24, 1994, the house of M.P. Lotarev in the village of Vladimirovka, Cherepovets district, was accepted under state protection and classified as a monument of republican (all-Russian) significance. In 1996, the estate of M.P. Lotarev was transferred to the Cherepovets Museum Association for the organization of a literary museum there.

(“Nightingales of the Monastery Garden”, “Classical Roses”), “Bells of the Cathedral of the Senses”, “The Dew of the Orange Hour”, “Falling Rapids” “Medallions” The most notable works of this period are several well-known poems (“Nightingales of the Monastery Garden”, “Classical Roses”), autobiographical novels in verse “Bells of the Cathedral of the Senses”, “The Dew of the Orange Hour”, “Falling Rapids” and a collection of sonnets “Medallions” (portraits of writers, artists, composers). Translated poems by Estonian and Yugoslav poets. After Estonia joined the USSR, it resumed creative activity, trying to publish in the Soviet press.

The theme of nature Nature as an object of depiction and comprehension in the artistic world is subordinated to specific creative tasks. Outwardly, Severyanin’s nature looks emphatically decorative, awakening in a person the desire for happiness and love. Northerner’s nature is quiet and melancholy, its existence is fragile, vulnerable, like the heart of a poet. Nature is the best interlocutor

Theme of the Motherland The northerner mourns together with Russia, passing through his heart all the pains, all its joys. The poet respects his homeland just like a woman who is simply impossible not to love. The poet experiences fear at the thought that selfishness towards Russia will lead to nowhere: And now we are left without a Motherland, and our appearance is pitiful and empty... Irony for himself, for his time, for the people who surrounded him.

Theme of love Love lyrics are filled with neologisms, combinations of words, attempts to invent new colorful epithets, some satirism and parody of city life and modern phenomena of the Modern era, as well as exaggerated “romantic egoism” and light fairy-tale fictional images. Motives love lyrics Northerner: admiration for the beloved and the ability to go to any lengths for her sake in search of love and the awareness of her eternal presence alongside heartache in the desire to return the past, to the motive of the hardships and illusory nature of the apparent feelings of the call to love with all one’s might, recognition of love as the highest and most beautiful miracle in the entire Universe

The lyrical hero is always separated from the surrounding reality, creating for himself a special reality, a special spiritual space. a world of satiety and vulgarity, claiming exclusivity and originality, a shocking hero - a mask, a pose, an attempt to hide from life behind a flashy thing. a hero under the defiant mask of a “royal clown”.
