Sergey Tretyakov is a talented futurist poet

Tretyakov Sergey - poet-futurist of the beginning of the twentieth century. The direction of futurism (from the word "future") spread among poets at the beginning of the last century.

The flow of futurism

In 1909, the Italian writer Filippo Marinetti called for the complete destruction of all cultural values and traditions. Instead, we should only talk about the future. Man at the same time seemed to be the center of the universe. It was about him, a resident of a large dynamic city, with a huge amount of equipment, wrote poets. Thus, the futurists rejected the classical past, did not accept the rules of syntax, the compatibility of words. The main task of Futurism is to voice our own understanding of the world around us in convenient ways, regardless of the norms and principles adopted.

Russian Futurism

Sergei Tretyakov was born in 1892. And already in 1910 a futuristic current came to Russia, attracting a lot of attention. What is so scandalous about this current? A peculiar form of verse, causing public appearances, committed during trips to the largest cities of the country.

As in all other undertakings, this was also attended by strife within groups and associations. Because of them poets migrated between groups, sometimes bitterly arguing and conflicting.

Futuristic directions

In Futurism, certain currents were distinguished. Egofuturizm - the direction of "continuous" egoism. The exaltation of one's own self. The poet-futurist in this direction propagated the notion of "himself and no one else".

Kubofuturists. They have already softened the notion of "I", replacing it with "we." Kubofuturists united in the "Galea" and carefully tried to fence themselves off from the Italian minded. They also published a scandalous manifesto "Slap in the face of public taste." The well-known futurist poet V. Mayakovsky, who belongs precisely to the current, often escaped the audience with his free verses and style in clothes (a yellow jacket, painted faces of poets). As, however, and other poets.

It was considered normal to print their works on scraps of paper, old wallpaper. And this greatly outraged the classics. But contrary to negative public opinion, it was this time that was given the name "Silver Age", and the futurist poets, sculpting their works in conditions of freedom bordering on licentiousness, became his "children". And it is they who have a very outstanding contribution to the development of literature. The poetry of Mayakovsky alone is worth it.

Biography of Tretyakov

Sergei Tretyakov in his early biography had no outstanding details. He was born in a family of a teacher in Goldingen, where he studied at school. After graduation, he entered the Moscow University at law faculty. It was at the university and there was a significant meeting: Sergei Tretyakov and futurist poets. This meeting determined the whole future fate of Tretyakov.

In 1913, another branch of futurism took shape: The Mezzanine of Poetry, whose niche was taken by Sergei Tretyakov. Of course, he could not compete with the star, Mayakovsky, but during the First World War he was a fairly widely known poet of his time. It was a period of a huge number of exhibitions, reports, evenings of poetry. But he did not last long. Until 1915. After that, all the existing movements of Futurism broke up.

Sergei Tretyakov, whose biography falls on the heyday of the movement, after his disintegration left for the Far East, where he worked in different cities: Beijing, Harbin, Chita. He participated in the Civil War.

But even under wartime conditions and under stressful conditions, he remained faithful to the futuristic direction. Having organized a circle together with other like-minded poets, he is becoming increasingly known as a revolutionary poet. And in 1922 he published his second collection of poems "Yasnysh".

Then Tretyakov Sergey Mikhailovich returns to Moscow, where he gets a job in the magazine "New LEF", editing his numbers. He also releases his new collections of poems.

In the twenties of the last century, Sergei Tretyakov became also a famous playwright, writing several plays. After switching to novels and essays.

The revolutionary mood of Tretyakov could not remain unnoticed and unpunished. Since at that time no freethinking did not remain long at large. That is why in 1937 he was arrested and shot. However, in 1956, they rehabilitated posthumously.
