Silver Age (Russia)

The Silver Age of Russian culture, spanning roughly from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, was a period marked by flourishing artistic and literary achievements. This era followed the great literary successes of the 19th century and is characterized by innovative movements in poetry, philosophy, and visual arts. Prominent figures like poets Anna Akhmatova and Alexander Blok, and artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, emerged during this time. The Silver Age explored themes of existentialism, spirituality, and social change, reflecting the complexities of Russian society leading up to the upheaval of the Russian Revolution in 1917.
