| Abstract: |
This paper describes Moscow in the last pre-revolutionary year, 1916, at two different angles — the historical (C. Yablonovsky essay «The mass grave») and the artistic («Poems of Moscow» by Marina Tsvetaeva). Both are united by the theme of parting with Moscow, with the Easter, which will never recur after 1917. The article introduces fragments of a unique essay by S. Yablonovsky, which tells about a meeting of Easter by Moscovites in the Fraternal Cemetery in Sokolniki. «Poems of Moscow» by M. Tsvetaeva are consonant with the essay: there the poet bids farewell to the places of Moscow, its way of life, which very soon will collapse. |
