The greatest poet of the first Russian emigration, Georgy Ivanov, had a presentiment that he would “return to Russia in poetry.” Now he is widely published in his homeland, from where he was forced to flee after the revolution, his poetry has a huge circle of admirers, his poetry and prose become the topic of dissertations. And only the biography, until recently, gaped with blank spots, since many documents were lost “in the windfall of Russian troubles.” It is symbolic that the first attempt to recreate a complete biography of G. Ivanov was made by a researcher of the poet’s work, Vadim Kreid, long-time editor-in-chief of the Russian “New Journal” in New York. In this magazine, Georgy Ivanov published in the most difficult times, corresponded with its then editor Roman Gul, his book “Poems. 1943-1958” was published under the magazine’s brand... Biography of Georgy Ivanov - and this is the Silver Age, the revolution, the white exodus from the red Russia, the literary life of the Russian diaspora, communication with the most prominent representatives of Russian culture A. Blok, N. Gumilev, O. Mandelstam, V. Khodasevich, D. Merezhkovsky, Z. Gippius, Iv. Bunin, many others - will undoubtedly be of great interest to readers.
