Disintegration of the Atom and Petersburg Winters

Exploring the intersection of reality and imagination, Georgy Ivanov's memoir captures the essence of Petersburg in the 1920s, blending personal experiences with fictional elements. In contrast, his prose poem from 1937 delves into the vibrant yet shadowy life of Parisian émigrés, infused with eroticism and a sense of impending conflict. Together, these works reflect Ivanov's unique literary style and his poignant observations of life amidst historical turmoil.
