Efim Etkind, Beast of cultural burden (Viacheslav Ivanov 's archaistic style).
Two trends appear in Russian poetry from the 18th century on: the first that can be termed musical or flowing, and the second one, that of the isolated word, which is anti-musical by nature. The verse of the second kind is faltering, heavy, filled with phonetical, syntaxic, and semantic impediments. V. Ivanov' s poems constitute a contrast to the musical art of A. Blok by this ponderousness to which contribute all the elements of his style: erudition underlined with great arrogance, archaistic language which at times appears to be artificial, copied by the author on long dead models. This archaistic style is paradoxically akin to the avant-garde, the innovations of Khlebnikov and Maiakovskii. The literary system of V. Ivanov is based on his theory of Culture, viewed as a burden that Man is condemned to carry throughout centuries. This burden of memory seems staggering, but it is the very incarnation of spiritual freedom. V. Ivanov' s poetry is a strange union of opposed notions. It blends the most abstract spiritualism with a verbal and versifying form tending towards the most complete materialization of words, sonorities and syntaxical structures.
