Summary/Abstract: The paper points out the spiritual and poetic similarities between the poetry of Dušan Vasiljev and the poets of different expressionist streams in the German literature (nihilism of Georg Heym and Gottfried Benn, cosmism of Alfred Mombert, Theodor Deubler, activism of Johannes Becher, Ludwig Rubiner and others). The author then more extensively investigates the intertextual relations with the poetry of the Hungarian poet Endre Ady and the south Slavic poets of the expressionist period (Miroslav Krleža, Miloš Crnjanski, Srećko Kosovel). Dušan Vasiljev’s poetry is placed in a broader, international avant-garde context to establish more precisely the literary-historical position of this poet between the extremes of the expressionist streams — the abstract and activist ones.
