PETERBURGIAN DIARIES BY ZINAIDA HIPPIUS – AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL TALE OR AN INTELLECTUAL DIARY?

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a problem of Peterburgian Diaries’ structure, the best known prosaic work written by Zinaida Hippius (1869–1945), one of the greatest female poets and writers of 19 and 20 century Russia. T th th he action of Diaries lasts from the start of World War I until the year 1919, to the moment of Hippius’s departure from fatherland. There were two ideas to write these current notes: first – the author’s attitude as an eyewitness towards historical and social events, and the second – the writer’s conviction about the Diaries’ influence on the West-European minds as one of the voices from Russia ruled consecutively by: Tsar Nicolas II, the Temporary Government and the Bolshevic party. The shape and the way of writing these notes are close to intellectual diary, the form between autobiographical tale and intimate diary, the characteristic type of narration with deep interpretation of facts.
