Baer* I In a poem first published half a century after Briusov's death, 1 we find the following panegyric to his great predecessor: О, фетовский, душе знакомый стих Как он звучит ласкательно и звучно!

We talked spiritedly about the three perduring Greats, Pushkin, Hutchev, Baratynsky. But Pushkin is the greatest of these (Briusov)1 Все настоящие поэты знали себе цену, с Пушкина начиная.

Ivan Bunin and Leonid Rzhevsky Thoughts on Artistic Affinities* Joachim T. Baer** It is not new to say that writers learn from each other. They reshape and rethink the work of predecessors whose writing they admire or with which they feel an artistic affinity.

творчество почти неизвестных широкому читателю Г. Евангулова, В. Мамченко, И. Сабуровой, 3. Шаховской. Д. Бобышев оставил без характеристики поэзию И. Богачинской, А. Верника, Н. Воронель, JI. Друскина, Е. Клюевой, В. Козового, Е. Любина, И. Ратушинской, А. Цветкова. В некоторых, к счастью - немногих, статьях место анализа художественного мира поэта занимает излишняя информация. Так, читателю зачем-то сообщается, что отца В. Бетаки спас от ареста В. Маяковский; что поэтический дар И. Богачинской

Baer* The 125th anniversary of Briusov's birth (December 13, 1873) almost coincides with the 75th anniversary of his death (October 9,1924).

In December 1923, Briu
