Description
The October Revolution of 1917 was a turning point for Gippius; she regarded it with the utmost negativity and an uncompromising hostility. This was evident in the books: “Last Poems” (1914–1918) and the “Petersburg Diaries,” which were partially published in émigré periodicals in the 1920s and later, in 1975 in English and in 1982 in Russian.
In one critical article, Gippius wrote: “Russia is perishing forever, and the power of the Antichrist is coming, while on the ruins of culture a frenzy of bestiality is raging.”
In her diaries, Gippius described in detail the death of the old Russian world and the rise of a new one. She presented the diaries as a separate literary genre, capable of showing “the flow of life as it is” and recording “the little things forgotten,” by which future generations would be able to reconstruct a reliable picture of past events.
