The only collection of poems by a talented Russian poet Iuri Sidorov (1887-1909) published already posthumously. During his short lifetime of twenty-one years only two of his poems were published, both in the almanac Chrysopras (1906), which are not included in the current collection. The poet's disappointment with the results of the 19051907 revolution and his turn towards monarchist sentiments, with subsequent support of the religious-minded ideology within symbolism that was promoted by the Moscow magazine Vesy (the Scales) influenced his poetic works. The poetry collection opens with three articles by Andrei Belii, Boris Sadovskii, Sergei Solov'ev, and includes 55 poems. According to the critics, Sidorov due to his young age, did not have time to develop his own manner. His poem "Muse" is reminiscent of early Khodasevich, and "Oleography" even of Georgy Ivanov, in the poem "Psychopompus" images derived from Judaic, Greek, Persian and other mythologies. "In his review of Sidorov's posthumous poetic book we see Bryusov's polemic against Bely's obituary of Sidorov. In Sidorov's works and personality Bely saw a synthesis of "a writer" and "a man" whereas Bryusov emphasized primarily bookisch, literary nature of the early deceased poet's works." (V. Savelov Yu. Sidorov and V. Bryusov") The book came out from Moscow-based Al'tsiona publishing house (1910-1923), founded primarily to feature works by symbolists.
