life and work
Sergej Gorodezki studied history, language and literature with Aleksandr Blok at the University of Saint Petersburg. He was initially a supporter of Russian symbolism , influenced by Vyacheslav Ivanov, Alexander Blok and K. Balmont. This direction was characterized by a return to pagan, Slavic mythology and the primal power of the primitive, which manifested itself in connection with the worship of nature.
After the Bolshevik putsch by Lenin in 1917, Gorodetsky wrote political poems "The Song of the Party", "Greetings from the Proletarian Poet" (1921), "Party Conventions" (1931, 1958) and "The Astronauts" (1962). These texts had decidedly turned away from symbolism, used clear everyday language in the poetic field instead of enigmas and, in their secularity and the immediate themes, were to be assigned to acmeism.
Gorodezki was a member of the "circle of poets" (Russian Цех поэтов) in St. Petersburg / Petrograd since 1911, which turned against the occult, complicated ambiguity of symbolism. The leading head was Nikolai Gumiljow , other poets were Anna Akhmatova and Osip Mandelstam . Mikhail Kuzmin and Innokenti Annenski were among the most important forerunners . From 1913 Gorodetsky published in the journal "Apollon", in which poems and theoretical articles appeared.
