Book Presentation: Maxim Mussel’s "Ghosts on the Petersburg Ice. The Life and Legend of Vsevolod Knyazev"

The Silver Age
"An era when poems were more dangerous than bullets, and love was a deadly game."

St. Petersburg, 1913.
The young cornet Vsevolod Knyazev tries to find his place among the iconic figures of the Silver Age — he embarks on romances, reads poetry, and parties at the "Wandering Dog" café. What drove this promising poet to take his own life? Why did his fate become a symbol of the era for his contemporaries, and why did Anna Akhmatova dedicate her "Poem Without a Hero" to his memory?
These and many other questions will be answered in the book "Ghosts on the Petersburg Ice."
