Fyodor Sologub, Russian poet, with his wife Anastasia, early 20th century. Artist: Mikhail Leshchinsky
Fyodor Sologub, Russian poet, with his wife Anastasia, early 20th century. Sologub (1863-1927) was a member of the Symbolist movement in Russian literature. He married Anastasia Chebotarevskaya (1876-1921), a translator, in 1908. An opponent of the Bolshevik Revolution, Sologub asked the authorities for permission to emigrate in 1919, but received no response. Trotsky himself finally gave permission for the Sologubs to leave Russia in July 1921 and Fyodor made plans to depart on 25 September. Tragically, two days before their planned departure, Anastasia committed suicide by throwing herself into the Malaya Neva from St Petersburgs Tuchkov Bridge. Sologub abandoned his plans to leave, and his grief at her loss considerably affected his remaining writings. Found in the collection of the State Museum of AS Pushkin, Moscow

EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the renowned Russian poet Fyodor Sologub alongside his wife Anastasia in the early 20th century. The artist, Mikhail Leshchinsky, beautifully portrays the couple seated together, their expressions revealing a deep bond of love and affection. Fyodor Sologub was a prominent figure in the Symbolist movement of Russian literature during this time. In 1908, he married Anastasia Chebotarevskaya, a talented translator who shared his passion for words. However, tragedy struck their lives when Anastasia took her own life by throwing herself into St Petersburg's Malaya Neva just days before they were set to emigrate from Russia. The devastating loss of his beloved wife profoundly affected Sologub's writings thereafter. His grief is palpable in his remaining works as he struggled to come to terms with her untimely death. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of their profound love but also of the tragic circumstances that shaped Sologub's later literary output. It stands as a testament to both personal and artistic resilience amidst immense sorrow. Preserved within the State Museum of AS Pushkin in Moscow, this archival image offers us an intimate glimpse into the lives and emotions of two individuals deeply connected through marriage and creative pursuits.
