About

The story of Georgy Ivanov and Irina Odoevtseva is not just a literary biography, but a multifaceted chronicle of love, exile, and inspiration. The lecture is dedicated to one of the most romantic and tragic literary couples of the 20th century - Georgy Ivanov and Irina Odoevtseva. Their fate, like that of Russian culture as a whole, went through a series of dramatic events, exile, flourishing, and oblivion. The peak of Georgy Ivanov's creative path came at the beginning of the 20th century - the time of the "Silver Age," when Petersburg was bubbling with literary life. He interacted with Blok, was a member of the "Workshop of Poets," and brilliantly read his poems at the legendary "Stray Dog." His muse, companion, and wife - Irina Odoevtseva, a poetess, memoirist, a woman of rare fate and strength. After emigration, the couple settled in France, where Ivanov became one of the leading voices of Russian poetry abroad. Paris, Yer, the books "On the Banks of the Neva" and "On the Banks of the Seine," filled with memories of Russia - all this became part of the spiritual emigration chronicle. Irina Odoevtseva lived to an old age and returned to Russia, becoming a living bridge between eras. We tell you on KudaGo where to go in St. Petersburg this weekend for free.
