The book restores in the picture of the “Silver Age” another history of human feelings, driven by a high attitude towards art. It began in Crimea, in Voloshin’s house, where in 1913 the young St. Petersburg artist Yulia Obolenskaya met the poet’s friend and curator of Moscow exhibitions, Konstantin Kandaurov. Having united “souls and brushes,” they supported and inspired each other in creativity, preserving their love, which saved them in the most difficult times of the era. They dreamed of writing a book about this. The artists’ plan was embodied by historian and cultural scientist Larisa Alekseeva. Her fascinating story is a personal experience of the events of those years, coupled with archival search, reading and comparison of letters, documents, and images. On the pages of the book, the reader will meet M. Voloshin, K. Bogaevsky, A. Tolstoy, V. Khodasevich, M. Tsvetaeva, O. Mandelstam, artists of the St. Petersburg school E. N. Zvantseva and other cultural heroes of the first third of the twentieth century.
