Book synopsis

Famed and outspoken Russian poet, Maximilian Voloshin (1877-1932) notoriety has grown steadily since his slow release from Soviet censorship. Voloshin's religious and fiercely anti-totalitarian poems brought him an extraordinary popularity during the two crises of Russian identity that accompanied the creation and dissolution of the Soviet Union, 1917-1920s and 1991-2014. Analyzing these poems, readers' responses to them, and Voloshin's popularity, Landa positions Voloshin's myth of Russia as an overlooked solution to Russia's perpetual crises of national identity. The book ends with the recent annexation of the Crimea and its aftermath when Voloshin's peacemaking appeal became even more relevant for the Russian government and the opposition, the Russians, Ukrainians, and Tatars.
