Welcome to a digital learning resource. The purpose of the project is to introduce learners of Russian to the treasures of Russian poetry in the original, starting with the poets of the Silver Age in the twentieth century and moving chronologically into the twenty-first century. If you agree that poetry is not a puzzle that needs to be solved as quickly as possible, and are willing to put in some effort, you’re in the right place! \u0005The project suggests a roadmap for readers\u2019 attempts to unpack poems\u2019 meaning and unlock poetic metaphors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIOGRAPHIES <\/strong>and\u00a0 COMMENTARIE<\/strong>S (\u041f\u0420\u0418\u041c\u0415\u0427\u0410\u041d\u0418\u042f)<\/strong> on individual poems \u00a0<\/strong>help you to understand the biographical, social and historical context of the poems.

RESOURCES <\/strong>page lists all the sources we used and contains links to comprehensive anthologies of Russian poetry and references to major scholarship cited in COMMENTARIE<\/strong>S. We even include texts that we have not referred to directly in biographical entries and commentaries, but which have had an influence on our ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While reading a poem in POEMS<\/strong>, search GRAPHICA<\/strong> to find images that support the meaning of the figurative language in a line or a stanza and help to process and digest each intricate line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In LEARNING TOOLS<\/strong>, you can find exercises to improve reading fluency and comprehension. POEMS<\/strong>‘ pages contain performances by leading Russian actors or musical renditions of the works. Try to experience the poem from the author’s point of view by listening to a powerful reading of the poem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

POETRY ORGANIZERS<\/strong>  <\/strong>help you identify and understand literary devices used in poetry, such as metaphors, similes, rhythm, rhyme; break apart a piece of poetry and understand it better, and discuss how well the images match the mood and meaning of the poems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
