Russian Silver Age

The Russian Silver Age was a cultural and artistic movement that occurred roughly from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, characterized by a flourishing of literature, music, and visual arts. This period followed the Russian Silver Age and saw significant innovation and expression, with notable figures like poets Anna Akhmatova and Marina Tsvetaeva, and composers like Igor Stravinsky. This era reflected a cultural awakening and exploration of modern themes, often marked by a sense of existentialism and a search for meaning, culminating in a rich but tumultuous legacy that was impacted by the upheaval of the Russian Revolution.
