Slide 2

Igor Vasilyevich Lotarev (he took the sonorous pseudonym Severyanin) was born on May 4 (16), 1887 in St. Petersburg in the family of an officer. Due to the difficult relationship between his parents, he spent his adolescence in Soyvol near the city of Cherepovets, Novgorod province, where his uncle’s estate was located. He studied at the Cherepovets Real School, then went to the Far East, where his father received a position as a commercial agent.

I. Severyanin made his debut in 1905 and until 1912 he published more than 30 collections of brochures. The poet was accompanied by scandalous fame, enthusiastic praise and malicious attacks. He became one of the poetic idols, and in 1918, at a poetry evening at the Polytechnic Museum, he was elected “king of poets,” ahead of Mayakovsky and Balmont. On this occasion, he wrote: “I have been chosen as the king of poets - may there be light for my subjects!”

Slide 4

The Northerner consciously cultivated his image as an exquisite poet-idol. He appeared at poetry evenings with an oricheda in his buttonhole, called his poems “poets,” and read in a melodious rhythm that corresponded to their pronounced musicality. “The Poet and His Glory” - this topic occupied an important place in Severyanin’s work. The famous lines belong to him: “I, the genius Igor Severyanin, am intoxicated with my victory: I am screened everywhere! I am completely confirmed!”

Slide 5

In 1913, Northerner published his first large book of poems, “The Thunder-Boiling Cup,” with a foreword by F. Sologub, at the Moscow publishing house “Grif.” In the first part of the collection, “The Lilac of My Spring,” childlike purity and spontaneity of feelings were combined with mannered aestheticism. The second part, “Lilac Ice Cream,” was devoted to the theme of civilization’s intervention in the world of natural human relations. In the third part, “Behind the String Fence of the Lyre,” the poet found his ideal in art and nature ennobled by man. This is evidenced by the names of the poems - “Vrubel”, “Koktebel”, etc. The northerner asserted in his poems the idea that the world will be saved thanks to beauty and poetry. The fourth part of the collection is a poetic manifesto of egofuturism. “I am the king of a country that does not exist,” said the Northerner in this part of “The Thundering Cup.” The release of “The Thundering Cup” made Severyanin an idol of the reading public. Over the course of two years, the book went through seven editions.

Slide 6

In the “Auto-Preface” to the collection “The Thundering Cup” I. Severyanin admitted: “... I, in my own way, treat my poems very strictly and publish only those poems that I have not destroyed, i.e. vital. I work a lot on the poem, guided only by intuition...”

Slide 7

Particularly popular were the “poetry concerts,” where Severyanin intoned his “poets,” intended more for the listener than for the reader: “Whoever did not listen to me did not comprehend me.” The poet appeared on stage in a long, narrow-waisted frock coat the color of a raven's wing. He stood straight, looked down at the audience, shaking his black curls hanging over his forehead.

Slide 8

In 1911, Severyanin created a group of egofuturists. The name “egofuturism” puts the “ego” at the center, i.e. The “I” of the poet, hence the self-aggrandizement that irritated many. The northerner tried to update the poetic language, introducing neologisms and using the most daring metaphors. Neologisms are found at every turn in Severyanin’s poems: “fast-tempo”, “desolate”, “razazorenny”, “ohimniv”. In addition to neologisms, the poet uses unusual phrases: “you are so aesthetic”, “I am inspired by impulse”, “it’s time to popularize delights”, “waterfall heart”, etc.

Slide 9

The northerner put forward a program for the direction he invented. The soul is the only truth. Personal self-affirmation. Searching for the new without rejecting the old. Meaningful neologisms. Bold images, epithets. Fighting stereotypes. Diversity of the world.

Slide 10

Why did the poet attract his contemporary readers so much? The northerner fascinated with the unusual, bright, new - sounds, sensations, colors, rhythms. He turned everyday life into a holiday, took him into an imaginary world of luxury and beauty.

Slide 11

The civil war that began in Russia found I. Severyanin in Estonia, where he remained until the end of his life. He lived in solitude in the fishing village of Toila. He managed to publish several books of poetry, including “Falling Rapids” (1922), “The Nightingale” (1925), etc. In the poem “Classic Roses” (1925), the Northerner prophetically wrote: “How beautiful, how fresh the roses were, My thrown into my coffin by the country!” I. Severyanin died in Tallinn on December 20, 1941.

Slide 12

“Today Igor Severyanin is dear and close to me... They laughed at his memory, they booed him, called him vulgar and salon, and all this offensive mess sounded during his lifetime. Fortunately, I still found the strength to figure it all out. And I gradually became his follower. And I saw that this is a poet...who has not soiled himself throughout his life with either fleeting political or any other passions. B. Okudzhava
Cover of the book about the Northerner by Alla Marchenko

Full-flowing spring, full-sounding, My dear, my natural spring, Again to you (you can’t get bored!) I leaned down without being thrown away.

Igor Severyanin 1887 - 1941

Igor-Severyanin (Igor Vasilievich Lotarev) was born on May 4 (16), 1887 in St. Petersburg. His father, Vasily Petrovich, a military engineer (a native of the “Vladimir bourgeoisie”), who rose to the rank of staff captain, died in 1904 at the age of forty-four. Childhood, debut, early creativity

His mother came from the famous noble family of the Shenshins, to which A.A. belonged. Fet, threads of kinship also connected her with the famous historian N.M. Karamzin. On his mother’s side, Igor Severyanin was related to the Russian revolutionary A.M. Kollontai. Childhood, debut, early creativity

Most of I. Severyanin’s childhood, adolescence and youth years were spent on Cherepovets land. Of the three Cherepovets estates that belonged to the poet’s relatives, only one has survived.

In 1896, his parents divorced, and the future poet left with his father, who had retired by that time, to Cherepovets. He graduated from four classes of the Cherepovets Real School. He began writing poetry at the age of 8. Shortly before his father's death, he visited the Far East with him and in 1904 settled with his mother in Gatchina.

In 1905, a meeting took place that left an indelible imprint on the life and work of the poet. With Evgenia, then still Zhenechka Gutsan. She was extremely beautiful: slender, with luxurious golden curly hair. Igor, having fallen in love, came up with a new name for his young friend, Zlata, and gave him poetry. There was nothing more to give...

Who was he? Just an eighteen-year-old youth, without education, without a specialty and without a penny in his pocket. But at the same time, extremely confident in himself, with no doubt that very soon he will be rich and famous...

First published in the second issue of the magazine "Leisure and Business" for 1905 (the poem "The Death of Rurik" under the name Igor Lotarev). At his own expense, he published thin booklets of poetry (from 2 to 16 poems) and sent them to editors “for review.” In total, he published 35 of them from 1904 to 1912. The poems did not have much response.

He gained all-Russian fame in 1910, when L. N. Tolstoy gave a devastatingly negative response to Severyanin’s poems. This review got into the newspapers and, as the poet himself wrote, “... since then, each of my new brochures has been carefully commented on by criticism in every way, and with the light hand of Tolstoy<...>“Everyone who was not too lazy began to scold me.” V. Ya. Bryusov and Fyodor Sologub greatly contributed to the fame of Northerner.

Success grew. Igor Severyanin founded his own literary movement - egofuturism (back in 1911, “Prologue of egofuturism”). In 1914, the Ego-Futurists, together with the Cubo-Futurists, D. Burliuk, V. Mayakovsky and Vasily Kamensky, held the Futurism Olympics in Crimea.

The outbreak of the First World War, although not immediately, changed public interests, shifted emphasis, and the delight of Northerner’s poetry was clearly out of place. At first, the poet even welcomed the war and was going to lead his fans “to Berlin,” but he quickly realized the horror of what was happening and again delved into personal experiences, further filling out the diary of his soul.

On February 27, 1918, at an evening at the Polytechnic Museum in Moscow, Igor Severyanin was elected “King of Poets.” V. Mayakovsky was recognized as the second, V. Kamensky as the third. A few days later, the “king” left with his family on vacation to the Estonian seaside village of Toila.

In 1920, Estonia separated from Russia. Igor Severyanin found himself in forced emigration, but felt comfortable in the small “spruce” Toila with its peace and quiet, and fished a lot. Quite quickly he began performing again in Tallinn and other places.

Having buried his mother, who died on November 13, 1921, Severyanin hastily, and not forty days had passed from the day of the funeral, fleeing the horror of loneliness in a foreign land, “got married.” It was a marriage with Felissa Kuurt.

Before his death, Severyanin recognized the break with Felissa in 1935 as a tragic mistake. He dedicated about two hundred poems to her, including “The Poet of a Blue Evening” and “The Poet of Happiness.” The poet lived with her for 16 years, and this was the only legal marriage in his life. Behind Felissa, Igor Severyanin was like behind a stone wall, she protected him from all everyday problems, and sometimes saved him.

In 1940, the poet admitted that “now there are no publishers for real poems. There is no reader for them either. I write poems without writing them down, and I almost always forget.”

Igor Severyanin died on December 20, 1941 in German-occupied Tallinn and was buried there at the Alexander Nevsky Cemetery. His lines are placed on the monument: How beautiful, how fresh the roses will be, thrown into my coffin by my country!

Particularly popular were the “poetry concerts,” where Severyanin intoned his “poems,” intended more for the listener than for the reader: “Whoever did not listen to me did not understand me.” The poet appeared on stage in a long, narrow-waisted frock coat the color of a raven's wing. He stood straight, looked down at the audience, shaking his black curls hanging over his forehead.

Igor Severyanin Egopolonez Live, Living! Tambourines under the sun Be bold, people, into your polonaise! How fruitful: how golden-tubes are the rye sheaves of my poetry! Love and Bliss, Pleasure and Beauty flow in them! All the sacrifices of the world in the name of the Ego! Live, Alive! - the lips sing. There are only two of us in the entire universe, And these two are always one: Me and Desire! Live, Alive! – Immortality is destined for you!

He became one of the poetic idols, and in 1918, at a poetry evening at the Polytechnic Museum, he was elected “king of poets,” ahead of Mayakovsky and Balmont. On this occasion, he wrote: “I have been chosen as the king of poets - may there be light for my subjects!”

Slide 25

The Northerner consciously cultivated his image as an exquisite poet-idol. He appeared at poetry evenings with an orchid in his buttonhole, called his poems “poets,” and read in a melodious rhythm that corresponded to their pronounced musicality.

I, the genius Igor Severyanin, am intoxicated with my victory: I am screened everywhere! I am completely confirmed!

Slide 26

Why did the poet attract his contemporary readers so much?

The northerner fascinated with the unusual, bright, new - sounds, sensations, colors, rhythms. He turned everyday life into a holiday, took him into an imaginary world of luxury and beauty.

On February 27, 1918, at an evening at the Polytechnic Museum in Moscow, Igor-Severyanin was elected “King of Poets.” A few days later, the “king” left with his family on vacation to the Estonian seaside village of Toila, and in 1920 Estonia separated from Russia. Igor Severyanin found himself in forced emigration, but felt comfortable in the small “spruce” Toila with its peace and quiet, and fished a lot. Quite quickly he began performing again in Tallinn and other places.

Emigration

Igor-Severyanin still wrote a lot and translated Estonian poets quite intensively. Since 1921, the poet has toured outside Estonia: 1922 - Berlin, 1923 - Finland, 1924 - Germany, Latvia, Czech Republic... In 1922-1925, Northerner wrote in a rather rare genre - autobiographical novels in verse: "Falling Rapids", "The Dew of the Orange Hour" and "Bells of the Cathedral of the Senses"

In 1940, the poet admitted that “now there are no publishers for real poems. There is no reader for them either. I write poems without writing them down, and almost always forget them.”

Slide 33

The poet died on December 20, 1941 in German-occupied Tallinn from a heart attack and was buried there at the Alexander Nevsky Cemetery. His lines are placed on the monument: How beautiful, how fresh the roses will be, thrown into my coffin by my country!

Parents His father, Vasily Petrovich, was a military engineer (a native of the “Vladimir bourgeoisie”), who rose to the rank of staff captain, died in 1904 at the age of forty-four. His mother came from the famous noble family of the Shenshins, to which A.A. belonged. Fet (1820-1892), threads of kinship also connected her with the famous historian N.M. Karamzin (1766-1826). It is interesting, by the way, that on his mother’s side Igor Severyanin was related to A.M. Kollontai (1872-1952). In 1896, his parents divorced, and the future poet left with his father, who had retired by that time, to Cherepovets; shortly before his father’s death, he visited the Far East with him and in 1904 settled with his mother in Gatchina.

First poems Graduated from four classes of the Cherepovets Real School. He began writing poetry at the age of 8. One of the first vivid impressions was falling in love with Zhenechka Gutsan (Zlata), who inspired the future poet. It was first published in the second (February) issue of the magazine “Leisure and Business” for 1905: there, under the name Igor Lotarev, the poem “The Death of Rurik” was published.

In 1896, Igor’s father, Vasily Petrovich Lotarev, lieutenant of the 1st railway battalion, brought his son to the Nelazskaya volost of the Cherepovets district of the Novgorod province, where the land holdings of his brother Mikhail Petrovich Lotarev and his sister Elizaveta Petrovna Zhurova were located. On the advice of his brother, Vasily Petrovich enrolled his son in the Cherepovets real school. On weekends and holidays, Igor came to the estate of E.P. Zhurova Soyvola, which was located on the banks of the Suda near the Soyvola River. Near the village of Vladimirovka, two miles from Soyvoly, in 1899 M.P. Lotarev began construction of an estate.

Zhurova Soyvola, which was located on the banks of the Suda near the Soyvola River. Near the village of Vladimirovka, two miles from Soyvoly, in 1899 M.P. Lotarev began construction of an estate.

Uncle's estate The large manor house was two-story, made of logs (later it was sheathed with planks), on a stone foundation. Near the house there was a park in which jasmine, barberry, lilac, acacia, spirea, rose hips, bird cherry, linden grew and there were flower beds. The place chosen for it was picturesque: surrounded by forests, on a high bank, washed by the waters of two rivers - the Suda and the Kemza flowing into it

“...my muse” Igor took an active part in all the amusements organized by the inhabitants of the estate” in “mushroom hikes”, amateur performances, in home evenings (faifoclocks, as he jokingly called them)... His uncle’s estate became dear and welcome to Igor the Severyanin: here he drew impressions for his poetic creativity, here - in the circle of kind and sweet relatives - he found respite from the worries and noisy life of the capital. He spoke about these places: “A poet must have folk roots that feed his inspiration. Here my muse appears to me.”

He immediately devoted himself selflessly to the first collections of literature, publishing thin brochures of poetry at his own expense and sending them out to editorial offices. On November 20, 1907 (Severyanin later celebrated this day annually) he met his main poetic teacher, Konstantin Fofanov (1862-1911), who was the first poet to appreciate his talent. In 1908, the first notes about brochures, published mainly by Severyanin himself, began to appear. In 1911, Valery Bryusov (1873-1924), then a poetic master, wrote him a friendly letter, approving the brochure “Electric Poems.” Another master of symbolism, Fyodor Sologub (Fedor Kuzmich Teternikov, 1863-1927), took an active part in compiling Igor Severyanin’s first large collection, “The Thunder-Boiling Cup” (1913), accompanying it with an enthusiastic preface and dedicating a triolet to Igor Severyanin in 1912, beginning with the line "A new star is rising." Then Fyodor Sologub invited the poet on a tour of Russia, starting joint performances in Minsk and ending in Kutaisi.

Egofuturism Igor Severyanin founded his own literary movement - egofuturism (back in 1911, "Prologue of Egofuturism"), the group of its adherents included Konstantin Olimpov (son of K.M. Fofanov, 1889-1940), Ivan Ignatiev (Ivan Vasilyevich Kazansky, 1892- 1914), Vadim Bayan (Vladimir Ivanovich Sidorov, 1880-1966), Vasilisk Gnedov (1890-1978) and Georgy Ivanov (1894-1958), who soon joined the Acmeists. In 1914, the Ego-Futurists, together with the Cubo-Futurists, D. Burliuk (1882-1907), V. Mayakovsky (1893-1930) and Vasily Kamensky (1884-1961), held the Futurism Olympics in Crimea.

War The outbreak of the First World War, although not immediately, changed public interests, shifted emphasis, and the pronounced hedonistic delight of Severyanin’s poetry was clearly out of place. At first, the poet even welcomed the war and was going to lead his fans “to Berlin,” but he quickly realized the horror of what was happening and again delved into personal experiences, further filling out the diary of his soul.

Estonia On February 27, 1918, at an evening at the Polytechnic Museum in Moscow, Igor-Severyanin was elected “King of Poets.” V. Mayakovsky was recognized as the second, V. Kamensky as the third. A few days later, the “king” left with his family on vacation to the Estonian seaside village of Toila, and in 1920 Estonia separated from Russia. Igor Severyanin found himself in forced emigration, but felt comfortable in the small “spruce” Toila with its peace and quiet, and fished a lot. Quite quickly he began performing again in Tallinn and other places.

Felissa The Northerner is also kept in Estonia by his marriage to Felissa Kruut. The poet lived with her for 16 years and this was the only legal marriage in his life. Igor the Severyanin was behind Felissa like behind a stone wall, she protected him from all everyday problems, and sometimes even saved him. Before his death, Severyanin recognized the break with Felissa in 1935 as a tragic mistake.

Emigration In the 20s, he naturally stayed out of politics (he called himself not an emigrant, but a summer resident) and instead of political speeches against Soviet power, he wrote pamphlets against the highest emigrant circles. The emigrants needed other poetry and other poets. Igor-Severyanin still wrote a lot and translated Estonian poets quite intensively: in 1919-1923. 9 new books are being published, including "The Nightingale". Since 1921, the poet has toured outside Estonia: 1922 - Berlin, 1923 - Finland, 1924 - Germany, Latvia, Czech Republic... In 1922-1925, Northerner wrote in a rather rare genre - autobiographical novels in verse: "Falling Rapids", "The Dew of the Orange Hour" and "Bells of the Cathedral of the Senses"

Latest collections The Northerner spends most of his time in Toila, fishing. His life is more than modest - in everyday life he was content with little. In 1931, a collection of poems, “Classical Roses,” was published, summarizing the experience of 1922-1930. In 1930-1934, several tours of Europe took place, which were a resounding success, but publishers for the books could not be found. Northerner published a small collection of poems “Adriatic” (1932) at his own expense and tried to distribute it himself. The financial situation especially worsened by 1936, when, in addition, he broke off relations with Felissa Kruut and became friends with V.B. Korendi.

Death And in 1940, the poet admits that “now there are no publishers for real poems. There is no reader for them either. I write poems without writing them down, and I almost always forget.” The poet died on December 20, 1941 in German-occupied Tallinn from a heart attack, in the presence of his younger sister Vera Korendi (Estonized surname, actually Korenova), his last partner. and was buried there at the Alexander Nevsky cemetery. His lines are placed on the monument: How beautiful, how fresh the roses will be, thrown into my coffin by my country!

The fate of the estate On December 20, 1993, through the efforts of the administration of the Cherepovets region and employees of the Cherepovets Museum Association, an exhibition dedicated to I.-Severyanin was opened in the sanatorium. On January 24, 1994, the house of M.P. Lotarev in the village of Vladimirovka, Cherepovets district, was accepted under state protection and classified as a monument of republican (all-Russian) significance. In 1996, the estate of M.P. Lotarev was transferred to the Cherepovets Museum Association for the organization of a literary museum there.
