Summary/Abstract: This book is about the Russian poetic avant-garde, about the avant-garde poetry that emerged on the brink of two centuries - the 19th and the 20th, and about the avant-garde trends penetrating the 20th century culture with their diverse forms of presence. Within this culture precisely the avant-garde became a curious response to the crisis in art. The road travelled by the avant-garde during the entire twentieth century can be divided into generally two periods. The first is most often called classical or historical period, which loudly proclaims itself among the varieties of futurism. During the period of the 50s -80s an illustrious and strong “other” art became established, which perceived itself not as a “contraculture”, but as “art without treachery”, if we apply V Nekrassov's formula. In its activity the avant-garde art struggles with the exemplariness of literary creation, with being stagnated into relic forms, because the museum is the graveyard of literature, to cite the famous thought from the modernist era. In the violation of rules the avant-garde creators find a productive artistic approach, which represents part of a new convention, a somewhat alternative classic. Avant-garde art resists flicking through it. Effort is needed so that the individual does not sink into complacence. Pre-modeling the world to the paroxyc visions of the grotesque, weird, dreadful, the poetic works in the field of avant-garde reflect the horror and distress of the person, located at an eternal border, but also his will to resist evil. The self accomplishment of the creator is seen as an attempt to cross the borders, an attempt to surpass the limited framework of human existence.
