Annotation

The modernist works of V.Y. Bryusov had a strong influence on the literary works of A.V. Chayanov. In his letter to Chayanov Bryusov gave a brief review of his poetry collection Lyolya’s book (1912) in which he called the first experiments of the young economist “brisk” and “cute jokes”. In the “Journey of my Brother Alexei to the Peasant Utopia Country” (1920) by Chayanov and the “Star Sorrow” (1895) by Bryusov similar characters and images are portrayed creating a utopian society of augurs of the spirit and bringing out strong promethean motives. The theme of duality developed in Bryusov’s poems and stories was also reflected in Chayanov’s novel “Venetian mirror...” (1922) which textually and by its plot is close to the story “In the mirror” (1902–1906) by Bryusov. But while Chayanov’s character experiences a kind of transformation, Bryusov rather described a psychopathology.
