Zhylenko I. R. «My life is lost as a chronicle» (Vladimir Narbut: the finishing touches to the creative biography)

Abstract

This article is devoted to Vladimir Narbut’s creation study. His literary and critical works were neither
studied nor published during the Soviet period until the beginning of Perestroika. The artistic heritage of the
author as a poet, writer, social activist, critic, screenwriter and founder of information sources has been poorly
studied in Russia. Therefore, this research is an attempt to define the place of Vladimir Narbut in the history of
the XX-th century literature, to assess his literary and journalistic heritage, and reveal the diversity of his talent.
