Yulia S. Podlubnova, Cand. Sci. (Philol.), Associate Professor, Researcher, Center of Literary History, Institute of History and Archeology, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Yekaterinburg); tristia@yandex.ru; ORCID: 0000-0001-5210-0861Abstract:
The article is devoted to the Ural period of creativity of the poetess E. A. Nikolaeva-Ranova, who joined the avant-garde group of poets which was called “nichevoki” until 1922, but by no means professing the principles of avant-gardism in her work, on the contrary, inheriting mainly V. Ya. Bryusov, A. A. Akhmatova, S. A. Yesenin etc. For the first time the article completely reconstructs the biography of the poetess, collects and analyzes materials related to the Ural period of creativity (1922-1929). We note that E. A. Nikolaeva, who found herself in the Urals in connection with the expulsion of her husband Alexander Ranov (known in literary circles as the poet who was called “nichevoka” — Aetius Ranov) and lived with him in different cities of the region, E. A. Nikolaeva-Ranova is forced to make a creative and life-creating restructuring and begin cooperation with the Soviet press. Poems and poetries of the Ural period, published mainly in Perm newspapers and magazines, inevitably acquired an agitational sound. E. A. Nikolaeva-Ranova ‘s example shows that in the case of a long stay of visiting writers in the Urals, it makes sense to consider not only their contribution to the creation of the image of the region, but also changes in symbolic statuses or writing manners that happened here, as well as cultural mechanisms leading to these changes. On the other hand, it is also significant that the poetess, who compromises with time in her work, somehow preserved elements of an individual style in some texts that were particularly important to her, leading back to the same poetic practices of the Silver Age.
