Boris Konstantinovich Zaitsev is a Russian writer and translator, one of the last representatives of the Silver Age, chairman of the Moscow branch of the All-Russian Union of Writers, head of the Union of Russian Writers and Journalists in Paris. In 1922, he left his homeland and spent almost 50 years in exile. From a young age, Boris Konstantinovich Zaitsev was attracted by the creativity and personality of the Russian poet, one of the founders of romanticism in Russian poetry, Vasily Andreevich Zhukovsky. The novelized biography “Zhukovsky” most clearly reflected what formed the basis of Zaitsev’s creative personality - love and respect for Russian classics and literary traditions.
