Soviet poetry, squeezed into the tight framework of party ideology and socialist realism, nevertheless left a fairly noticeable mark on national culture. And it should be noted that women did no less for this than men. We talk about the most important Soviet poetesses (and read their poems).

Anna Akhmatova

Akhmatova’s talent was so great and monolithic that it could not fit into any one period, whether we are talking about the Silver Age, or the era of furious socialist realism. The poetess had to experience an almost complete ban on the appearance of her poems in print and a very short moment of official worship.
Although some of Akhmatova’s poems saw the light already during Perestroika, all love lyrics was published back in Soviet time. She was not only the undisputed queen of Russian poetry, but also a kind of authority in understanding female soul. Men called her poems an encyclopedia of the weaker sex, and ladies of all ages took their cue from lyrical heroines and tried on situations for themselves.

Song of the last meeting

My chest was so helplessly cold,
But my steps were light.
I'm on right hand put it on
Glove from the left hand.

It seemed like there were a lot of steps,
And I knew - there are only three of them!
Autumn whispers between the maples
He asked: “Die with me!

I'm deceived by my sadness
Changeable, evil fate."
I answered: “Dear, dear -
And me too. I'll die with you!"

This is the song of the last meeting.
I looked at the dark house.
Only candles were burning in the bedroom
Indifferent yellow fire.

Marina Tsvetaeva

The innovative poet, revolutionary poet did not accept Oktyabrskaya's socialism, went into exile with relief, where she lived for 17 years, and after returning to the USSR she wrote almost nothing.

"Tsvetaevshchina" became common noun in official criticism. Her poems were almost never published. After his death, the first collection was published only in 1961, and its circulation was simply ridiculous - only 5 thousand copies.

Therefore, it is not entirely correct to call Tsvetaeva a Soviet poetess, but if we talk about the influence that she had on young people, then of course her work was very important part cultural life countries. Poems were distributed in lists, old collections were carefully stored, new books were hunted and taken to read. Despite all the restrictions, they penetrated quite deeply into life Soviet people.

I like that you're not sick of me

I like that you are not sick of me,
I like that it's not you that I'm sick of
That the globe is never heavy
It won't float away under our feet.
I like that you can be funny -
Loose - and don't play with words,
And do not blush with a suffocating wave,
Sleeves touching slightly.

I also like that you are with me
Calmly hug the other one,
Don't read to me in hellfire
Burn because I don't kiss you.
What is my gentle name, my gentle, not
You mention it day or night - in vain...
That never in church silence
They will not sing over us: Hallelujah!

Thank you with my heart and hand
Because you have me - without knowing yourself! -
So love: for my night's peace,
For the rare meeting at sunset hours,
For our non-walks under the moon,
For the sun, not above our heads, -
Because you are sick - alas! - not by me,
Because I am sick - alas! - not by you!

Vera Inber

In her youth, some put her next to Akhmatova. Others believed that Inber was just following in the fairway great poetess, but, unlike many, he does it with talent. She wrote bright, imaginative and very feminine poems, but later she was an active participant literary salons Odessa and Moscow turned into a literary commissar. It seemed that Inber was trying to justify himself for family ties with Trotsky, a decadent past, a love of fashionable clothes and an ideologically dubious early work.
Still, her trace is in Soviet culture very significant. The point is not only that in the twenties and thirties, 4-5 of her books were published a year. They are still published today, although rarely. For example, in 2015, her memoirs about her childhood in Odessa were published. And her early poems periodically appear in the blogosphere. By the way, Vysotsky’s song “The Girl from Nagasaki” is a slightly altered verse by Inber.

Love hangs over me like a cloud...

Love hangs over me like a cloud,
Darkened the days
Don't torment me with your tenderness,
Don't be tormented by affection.

Go away, let the tears get in the way
Look after.
Go away, don’t let your soul know
Whether you were or not.

Parting, kissing, crying,
Clear eyes.
The dust will curl up in a column, not otherwise
Like a thunderstorm.

Thunder will sound. Whisper as if alive
There is rye in the field.
Where is the tear, where is the raindrop -
You won't understand.

An hour later for a golden bucket
The neighbor will look out
And trample with rough feet
Nice trail.

Agniya Barto

Soviet children grew up reading the poems of Agnia Barto. Of course, the fairy tales of Marshak and Chukovsky also necessarily lay on the shelf, but her lines were light, simple, easily digestible... We can say that they achieved such unusual crystal clarity that they were understandable and close to all children. Although Barto herself was a very controversial person.
A convinced communist, she participated in attacks on Chukovsky, although it was he who gave her a ticket to literary life, and after the war she poisoned Galich. On the other hand, in the sixties she invented, organized and hosted a radio program to search for lost children during the Great Patriotic War. Patriotic War.
It is difficult to calculate how many books by Agnia Barto were published in the USSR. After his first collection “Toys”, the one with the crying Tanya and the rocking bull, each book was released in huge editions. Even now, the poetess remains one of the most popular children's authors. For example, in 2016, 115 of her books were published with a total circulation of almost 1.2 million.

Blue skirt
Ribbon in a braid.
Who doesn't know Lyubochka?
Everyone knows Lyuba.

Girls at the holiday
They will gather in a circle.
How Lyubochka dances!
Best of all friends.

The skirt is spinning too
And a ribbon in my braid,
Everyone is looking at Lyubochka,
Everyone is happy.

But if to this Lyubochka
You will come to the house
There you are that girl
It's hard to find out.

She still screams from the doorway,
Announces as he goes:
- I have a lot of lessons,
I won't go for bread!

Lyubochka is riding on a tram -
She doesn't take a ticket.
Pushing everyone apart with your elbows,
He makes his way forward.

She says, pushing:
- Ugh! How cramped! -
She says to the old woman:
- These are children's places.
“Well, sit down,” she sighs.

Blue skirt
Ribbon in a braid.
That's what Lyubochka is like
In all its glory.

It happens that girls
They can be very rude
Although not necessary
They are called Lyubs.

Olga Berggolts

The Leningrad Madonna, as she was called during the Great Patriotic War, is most famous for her civil lyrics. Her poems, written during the blockade, can be called some of the most sincere on this topic. Therefore, during the Soviet era, Bergholz’s work was tightly integrated into official propaganda, and the lines were reproduced on monuments, which somewhat hid all other facets of her poetry. Even the beautiful stanzas of her love lyrics.
In the eighties, when the younger generation often dealt mercilessly and unfairly with Soviet poetry, it was this sincerity that saved Bergholz’s work from oblivion. And this applies not only to her “Forbidden Diary,” in which she openly spoke about her arrest in 1938. Poems about love are published even more often.

Friends say: All means are good

Friends say: “All means are good,
to save from anger and misfortune
at least part of the Tragedy,
at least part of the soul..."
Who said that I am divided into parts?

And how can I hide - half - passion,
so that it doesn't stop being a passion?
How can I give a part to the call of the people,
When is life too little?
No, if there is pain, then the whole soul hurts,
and joy is all ablaze in front of everyone.
And it’s not fear that tells her to be open -
her freedom,
the one that is strongest.

I want it so much, I believe it so much, I love it so much.
Don't you dare show me any sympathy.
I won’t even give in to my death
for your forced happiness...

Veronica Tushnova

At one time, articles appeared quite often in which, with some surprise, they talked about how the little-known poet Veronika Tushnova became quite discussed in the nineties. A combination of several factors was to blame for this “obscurity.”
She released her first collection when she was 34 years old. But the poems in it did not at all fit into the general mood in the country and literature; they were “out of trend,” as they like to say today. She was able to shoot only with the fourth book, “Memory of the Heart,” and the cycle of poems about love, which would later scatter throughout the country, would only end up in the book “One Hundred Hours of Happiness.”
These poems were too confessional and personal. Tushnova decided to publish them only when it became clear that the deadly disease would not recede, in Last year own life. For example, the verse “Loving does not renounce” was written already in 1944. But even after her death, she did not immediately make her way to readers. This took almost ten years and a certain amount of luck, thanks to which this collection ended up in the hands of composer Mark Minkov.

Not renounce loving

Not renounce loving.
After all, life does not end tomorrow.
I'll stop waiting for you
and you will come quite suddenly.
And you will come when it is dark,
when a blizzard hits the glass,
when you remember how long ago
We didn’t warm each other.
And so you want warmth,
never loved,
that you can't wait
three people at the machine.
And, as luck would have it, it will crawl
tram, metro, I don’t know what’s there.
And the blizzard will cover the paths
on the far approaches to the gate...
And the house will be sad and quiet,
the wheeze of a meter and the rustle of a book,
when you knock on the door,
running up without a break.
You can give everything for this,
and before that I believe in it,
that it’s hard for me not to wait for you,
all day without leaving the door.

Yulia Drunina

Drunina took her first steps in literature and in life in the trenches, to the accompaniment of shots and explosions. Early publications and collections were almost entirely devoted to what she had to endure during the war years. In principle, they would already be enough to leave their mark in literature, but in mature years the horizon of her lyrics expanded significantly. And although the war still broke through in certain lines at times with some images and comparisons, the whole diversity of life around it came first.
The uniqueness of Drunina's poetry lies in the amazing combination of impetuosity, even rudeness, with tenderness and sincerity. Therefore, teenagers loved her emotional poems very much. For example, the verse “Now they don’t die of love” was found quite often in questionnaires and confessors. Her poetry remains relevant in our century: collections are republished approximately every few years.

Now they don't die of love

Now they don't die of love -
A mocking sober era.
Only hemoglobin in the blood drops,
Only without a reason does a person feel bad.

Now they don't die of love -
Only the heart is acting up at night.
But don’t call the ambulance, mom,
Doctors will shrug their shoulders helplessly:
"Now they don't die of love..."

Rimma Kazakova

Women poets in the second half of the USSR had one pleasant privilege. No one, including the comrades responsible for ideology, expected politically relevant poems from them. No, if they themselves came up with such an initiative, then it was welcomed and nothing more. That is why such a phenomenon as Rimma Kazakova appeared. Of course, in her work there were not only poems about love, but whatever she wrote about, it was primarily a woman’s view.
Kazakova quickly became in demand as a poet, at the age of 23 her first serious publications appeared, and at the age of 26 she published the collection “Meet Me in the East.” However, her poems had one more facet: they made great songs. Almost all stars, especially those of the nineties, have compositions by her in their discography.

Do you love me

You love me, fiercely, proudly, affectionately.
The sky of fate is spread out like a bird soaring.
Do you love me. Tested by my pain.
I know that you won’t abandon me or betray me under torture.

Do you love me.
You sculpt, you create, you paint!
Oh, this is a miracle!
Do you love me...

During the daytime night you will come quietly and undress.
It was not I who recognized Rodin’s eternal plot.
I surrender. Joy is invincible
Live in a kiss as one being.

You love me both on horseback and in rags.
I fell in love so much that you just love me.
I forget myself, I say: “Sorry, goodbye!”
But without you I became an eternal proud torment.

Do you love me.
You sculpt, you create, you paint!
Oh, this is a miracle!
Do you love me...

Bella Akhmadulina

During her lifetime, Bella Akhmadulina became a legend. She began writing mature and wise poetry very early. They also noticed the poetess almost immediately. The first collection “String” was published in 1962 with a circulation of 20 thousand copies and immediately became scarce. She received all-Union fame and real star popularity, the attention of the authorities and crowds of fans. She was recognized on the streets as if she were an actress or singer.
Akhmadulina still remains one of the most popular poets. It's not just that she got into school curriculum, and her work is considered by art critics to be one of the main services of the sixties era to Russian literature. Psychologically subtle, imaginative and exquisite poems about the most ordinary things self-sufficient on their own. They continue to be sung, published regularly, quoted and simply read.

Parting

And in the end I will tell:
goodbye, don't oblige to love.
I'm going crazy. Or I rise
To high degree madness.

How did you love? - you took a sip
destruction. Not in this case.
How did you love? - you ruined
but he ruined it so clumsily.

The cruelty of a miss... Oh no
I'm sorry to you. Alive body
and wanders, sees the white light,
but my body was empty.

Small temple work
still doing it. But my hands fell
and in a flock, diagonally,
smells and sounds go away.

Yunna Moritz

Always banned and always in demand, Yunna Moritz started almost simultaneously with Akhmadulina. But the native Kiev resident did not get full houses, foreign business trips and regular publications in the central press. The poetess was left with only one narrow road to the mass reader: children's literature. But these were the most adult, wisest and most philosophical poems for children.
Soviet citizens often did not even realize that Moritz was not only the author of “A Big Secret for a Small Company” and other songs into which its lyrics turned, but also a serious poet with his own original sound and unusual intonation. They were able to fully discover her talent only during Perestroika.

It's good to be young

It's good to be young
To fight for self-love,
In front of the gray mirror
Hold on independently
Living bravely is rough,
Dream about everything fiercely,
Don't be afraid of anything -
Even look ridiculous!

It's good to want everything
Take yours - and not stealthily,
rustle with a proud mane,
Proud to be famous for his behavior,
To start this and that,
Breaking with this and that,
Always a reason to give
Fanning hot gossip!

How wonderful it is to live and live,
Without fear of oncoming cars,
Treasure everything in the world,
Except life is fleeting!
It's good to ride a horse,
The power to hold over a full hall,
Don't tremble over every day -
That's a lot of it!

It's good to be young!
It just doesn't get any better!
Alcohol, insomnia and smoke -
Everything brings up ideas!
Our young bodies
Tempers frenzy!
It's over, la-la,
Musical introduction -

But the piercing motive
It's starting! Attention!
They sleep, hugging each other,
Young people are like in nirvana.
And in my ignorance
Young people -
Not a boom-boom about the shores,
About silver meadows,
Where are the gray people
The two of us will cuddle together to sleep,
And one will fall asleep forever.
...It's good to be young!..

Today I managed to watch a piece of the “Observer” program on the Culture channel and heard two poems by the front-line poet Mikhail Lukonin: one about the greatness of a woman, the other - “I felt better. I forget." And I remember the words of one of the participants in the program that the generation of front-line poets was distinguished by their ability to make friends and the ability to maintain their dignity. I liked the poems, and the expression of the presenter Andrei Maksimov: “Perhaps he passed me by...

Soviet poets who worked at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as those who wrote in the 60s of the last century, can rightfully be called revolutionaries of Russian literature. silver Age gave us such names as Balmont, Blok, Gumilev, Mandelstam, Akhmatova, Sologub, Bryusov, etc. At the same time, we learned about Yesenin, Tsvetaeva, Mayakovsky, Voloshin, Severyanin.

The Symbolists and Romantics of the late nineteenth century introduced a new word into poetry. Some glorified earthly existence, others, on the contrary, saw transformation in religion. The futurists strove to keep pace with the creators of Europe; they were expressive in their desire for rebellion and shockingness, and introduced new energy into the literature of that time.

Poems of Soviet poets reflect the spirit of the times, political situation countries, people's moods. Literature, like the country, after a year became multinational, combining different characters and styles of creators. In the poems of the poets of that period, we can see the fiercely Leninist ideology manifested, and the mood of the proletariat, and the suffering of the bourgeoisie.

Soviet poets of the Silver Age

The most significant creators turn of XIX-XX centuries One can name the Acmeists Akhmatova, Zenkevich, Gumilyov, Mandelstam. Their incentive for rapprochement was opposition to symbolism, the desire to get rid of its utopian theories. They appreciated picturesque images, detailed compositions, and the aesthetics of fragile things. They were merged until later Soviet poets everyone went their own way.

Futurists also made great contributions to literature. IN this style Khlebnikov, Burliuk, Kamensky created. Poets viewed art as a problem and changed people's attitudes toward the intelligibility and incomprehensibility of creativity. They move away from passive perception to ideological perception, forcing readers to think not literally, but artistically and fantasy.

As for the writers whose work is familiar to us from school: Tsvetaeva, Yesenin, Mayakovsky, their fates cannot be called simple. These Soviet poets experienced all the consequences of revolutions and faced misunderstandings of peoples and authorities, but they fought for their cause to the end and earned worldwide fame.

Soviet poet of the Thaw

After he came to power, a period of “thaw” began. It was at this time that poets had the opportunity to speak openly, without being embarrassed by condemnation and censorship. Many figures who were active before the war published their works only in the 60s. For example, Yevtushenko, Voznesensky, Okudzhava became a real political sensation of that time. They gathered halls of several tens of thousands of people, but few understood them. Of course, many of the literary creators of the second half of the 20th century touched on politics in their works, but this was not a provocation or condemnation of Stalinism. This is how poets expressed their opinions in sarcastic poetic form. Their views were shared by many intellectuals and educated people, they were also accepted by the workers. The poets of the 60s managed to conquer the entire population without exception.
