Journal Title: Przegląd Wschodnioeuropejski - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 1

Abstract

At the turn of the 20th century, i.e. at the time of considerable public interest in the Old Believers, the poet Mikhail Kuzmin (1872-1936) went through a difficult period of deep immersion in the Russian traditional culture. Kuzmin studied Znamenny Chant, wrote religio¬us poems imitating Old Believer lyrics, and visited remote monasteries of the Old Believers and prayers in St. Petersburg. This article is based on the poet’s diary. It examines the state of mind of the poet who was interested in both modern and ancient times. Kuzmin compared his life with the Russian traditional world. He was concerned about Russia’s future and its survival. Further, the success of his work, creativity and a wide circle of friends connected the poet with modernity forever. However, the poet always kept in his soul a spiritually elevated and artistically rich ancient world, preserved and sealed with the Old Believers.
