Michel Aucouturier, Pasternak and the French Revolution.
The author analyzes a little-known work of Boris Pasternak: two dramatic scenes in verse devoted to the French Revolution (and more precisely to the Thermidor coup d'état). Pasternak's verses date from June-July 1917 and were published in May-June 1918 in the S-R Znamia truda. These were the first direct expressions of Pasternak's attitude to the Russian revolution. Through the figures of Saint-Just and Robespierre, represented on the eve of their defeat and execution, we see the outline of the conflict between the poet and the revolutionary which will be taken up in his work as a novelist. Through this opposition, Pasternak already expresses an ambivalent vision, divided between an enthusiastic adhesion to the spontaneous explosion of the revolution and a pessimistic lucidity as to its outcome.
