Valery Bryusov and the Mystic Anarchists
“Hell is an Eternal Platitude” was a memorable line from the great poet Feodor Sologub. As one of the Symbolists, his mission was to expose the absurdity of modern life and the mass society it created. It pours contempt on conventional morals and urban, alienated ideas that serve the debased elite only. Valery Bryusov is one of the founders of this movement in fin de siècle Russia.
