Description
The name of Ivan Savin enjoyed enormous popularity among Russian émigrés who left Russia after the Revolution and the Civil War. With incredible power, this poet and journalist—who experienced all the horrors of fratricidal slaughter and died very young in Helsinki—managed to convey the tragedy of his generation. Bunin and Kuprin held him in high esteem; thousands of people copied his poems by hand. This collection brings together the best works of the poet.
