Vadim Gabrielevich Sjersjenevich (Russian: Вадим Габриэлевич Шершеневич) (Kazan, January 25, 1893 - Barnaoel, March 18, 1942) was a Russian writer and poet. Life
Sjersjenevitsj was the son of a Polish lawyer and politician and an opera singer. At the ninth, Kazan's family moved to Moscow, where he later studied law and mathematics at the university.
Sjersjenevich began his twentieth poetry writing, initially strongly under the influence of symbolism (Konstantin Balmont, Aleksandr Blok). Shortly afterwards he joined the futurists. He founded a separate futuristic group around the poetry 'Entresol of Poetry', which lessened itself to traditional literature than eg Igor Severjanin's ego futurists. In the period 1913-1914 he published two poems, worked on various almanacs and translated the work of Filippo Marinetti into Russian. He also wrote a spoken manifesto under the title Declaration of the Futuristic Theater (1914), in which he put the word in the theater above the act.
In the period after 1914, Sjersjenevich began to develop his first ideas about what would later become imaginism and wrote his famous collection of Automobile Progress. After the Russian Revolution, he taught poetry at the labor art school 'Proletkoelt', made ROSTA posters with Vladimir Majakovski and was chairman of the All-Russian Union of Poets for a short while. At the end of 1918, Sergeant Jesuit became close friend with Sergey Jesenin and Anatoli Marienhof. Together they founded the'imaginistic school '. As imaginists, they rejected futurism and symbolism and accepted only the image as a poetic foundation. The content was unimportant. His works in the period 1918-1920 are exemplary for this period.
In the years between 1920 and 1926, Sherzhievich published another number of bundles in the same style, but the "holy fire" touched it a bit. As the best work of this period, today's memories are considered to be literary friends. In the late twentieth, Sherzhevich wrote mainly for the theater. Later he would become director of various theaters in Moscow and beyond. Sjersjenevich died in 1942 at TBC. Working Literature and sources
