Kostenko Diana Evgen'evna

The creativity of writers and publicists belonging to the first migratory Russian wave is still a phenomenon that has not been sufficiently studied in the Russian literary sphere. One of the most brilliant representatives figures of the Russian diaspora was the poet, novelist, memoirist, literary critic and public figure - Zinaida Nikolaevna Gippius. Her literary and political journalism style, as well as her critical articles are of great interest to philologists, historians, linguists and philosophers. Since her attention is focused on acute social issues, the texts chosen for analysis allow us to significantly expand our understanding on the two Russian migratory generations and its world value through its relevant period.The understanding of problems with civil responsibility, creativity and one's own role on the “canvas era” is inextricably linked with the issue of freedom in various contexts. The study of this subject is of literary, philosophical and general interest.
