The focus is on one of the forgotten yet vibrant literary associations of Leningrad in the 1920s. Ekaterina Solilova's lecture will bring to life the pages of the history of 'Razor' - a magazine that united young poets and prose writers, and will help to view the cultural life of those years through the lens of the fate of working writers. What did literary Leningrad look like in the early 1920s? Who shaped the agenda, created magazines, wrote poetry and prose in a hungry yet change-thirsty city? At the lecture in the 'Na Stremyannoy' library, a little-known yet remarkably rich and inspiring chapter of history will be opened - the path of the literary association and magazine 'Razor'. It was a time when the working youth sought new forms of expression, self-identification, and cultural growth. The magazine 'Razor', founded in 1924, became not only a platform for publications but also a real literary school. Here, they taught the craft, discussed style, and debated forms and meanings. Beginning authors - 'rabkory' and 'fabzaytsy' - came here, dreaming of publication and recognition. In Ekaterina Solilova's lecture, a methodologist at the State Literary Museum 'XX Century', you will learn how this unusual creative union functioned, who was at its origins, and how the literary tastes of the generation were formed. Why did 'Razor', despite its significance, remain in the shadow of more well-known associations like 'Smena'? What fates are connected with this magazine? Names such as Pyotr Kapitsa, Anatoly Prokofiev, Grigory Nekrasov, Yuri Inge, Margarita Troitskaya, and others will be mentioned. Special attention will be paid to 'places of power' - addresses connected with the history of the association, which can today be found within the Vladimir district of St. Petersburg. This adds a lively dimension to the narrative, turning the lecture into a kind of cultural walk. The lecture is part of the series 'From Ligovsky to Stremyannaya: Names and Fates' and will be especially interesting to those who are passionate about literature, the history of Leningrad, cultural anthropology, and want to better understand how the creative environment was formed a century ago.
