Nikolai Klyuev is one of the most complex and mysterious figures of Russian and world poetry, whose true greatness is truly realized only in our days. The religious and mythological basis of his poetic world, the complex nodes of his still largely unclear biography, complex and dramatic relationships with his contemporaries - Blok, Yesenin, Ivanov-Razumnik, Bryusov, his winding ideological evolution - all this became the subject of reflection by Sergei Kunyaev, the author of the most the complete biographical book about the poet to date. Klyuev’s stay in Great History, his significance for his contemporaries and for distant descendants is revealed against the backdrop of a grandiose world revolutionary cataclysm, which included religious, geopolitical and human cataclysms. sign of information products 16+
