#FALLEN ANGEL FOUND IN RUSSIA FULL#

Official Soviet papers called Brodsky a “Near-Literary Drone”, and his poetry was labelled to be decadent and alien for the Soviet people, and he was not published in the Soviet Union. One of the most sophisticated Russian poets was incredibly beloved for the intelligentsia in the Soviet Union, and today he is one of Russia’s poetic idols - in large part because of his aureole as an exiled poet. I do not regret, and I do not shed tears.In 1925, he was found dead in a Leningrad hotel, and it’s still not entirely clear whether he killed himself or was killed by Soviet secret police.

And for his whole life he tried to find that balance of the devil inside of him and the angels that helped him love and write poetry. He called himself a hooligan and in his lyrics confessed about his way of life: binges and drunken brawls… “I am a Moscow mischievous playboy,” he wrote in one poem. (Those who have had the chance to visit his native village of Konstantinovo in Ryazan Region, or actually any Central Russia hinterland, can imagine what expanses and landscapes he means). He praised Russian nature, wrote heartbreaking poems about the beauty of golden fields, birch trees and the expanses of our motherland. Sergei Yesenin (1895-1925)Ĭritics still argue whether Yesenin is a great poet, but for sure he is one of the most beloved owing to the deceptive simplicity of his poems. I like that you are not in love with me.During World War II, Tsvetaeva was sent into evacuation where she also suffered from a lack of money and food - and as a result she committed suicide. Her husband was arrested and killed, while her older daughter was sent to the Gulag for 15 years. Then, she managed to emigrate to Prague, but yearned for Russia very much and returned at the time of Stalin’s Great Purge. During the Civil War she faced hunger and deprivation, and even had to give away her three-year old daughter Irina to a shelter for children, where the girl died.

Tsvetaeva’s biography, just like her poems, is full of suffering and loss. She sent her first poetic collection to the reputable symbolist poet and publisher Valery Bryusov, who was amazed and wrote in a review: “It felt awkward at moments, as if you looked immodestly through a half-closed window into someone's house and spied a scene that outsiders shouldn't have seen.” Tsvetaeva’s nervous poems reflect very deep personal feelings they tell about love, passion, and loneliness. She was a well educated girl and started writing poetry at an early age. Tsvetaeva was born in a family of Moscow University professor and founder of Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Ivan Tsvetaev. Up to her death in 1966 she was a very reputable poet among the intelligentsia - and her poems were among the first to spread via samizdat - illegal, handmade publications of the Soviet underground. During World War II, Akhmatova was in Leningrad during the Siege, and she read poems over the radio to raise the morale of the local population.Īfter the war her poetry was deemed harmful for the Soviet nation, and she was banned from publishing. She dedicated her most famous poem, Requiem, to those women who stood with her with scant hope to ever again meet their relatives. Akhmatova spent 17 months (!) standing in lines at an NKVD prison and trying to find out his fate. They even used metaphors comparing nature or humans with inanimate things.ĭuring the Red Terror, Akhmatova’s husband Nikolai Gumilev was killed during Stalin’s Great Terror her son, Lev Gumilev, was arrested. These poets were opponents of symbolists (and Blok) they refused to use ephemeral images, but called a spade a spade. At the dawn of her ‘career’ she was a part of the Silver Age poetic movement known as Acmeism. Even an ugly duckling can become a swan.Akhmatova is probably one of the most famous female Russian poets. In Norway, a big part of the population knows me as the one I’ve grown to be, and I believe it is important to tell my background story, and show them that there is always light in the end of the tunnel. I decided to embrace the name, and the character TIX was born. I grew up with Tourettes Syndrom and was named “Tics” due to my involuntarily sounds and twitches in my face. When we were planning the video for «Fallen Angel», this was the story I wanted to present, based on experiences from my own childhood, to inspire kids and youths that relates to that situation and those feelings. To grow up with something that makes you feel a little bit different than everybody else, can be challenging. The official music video of ‘ Fallen Angel‘ has been directed and produced by Brusjan AS. This is a story about being different, experiencing bullying and finding the strength to deal with challenges in life. Fallen Angel’s official music video showcases the story behind the artist from his childhood until today.
