Résumé anglais Andrej SHISHKIN. The Platonic and Sufi symposion at the "Tower" in St. Petersburg : Ber- diaev and Viacheslav Ivanov. Viacheslav Ivanov's "Tower" in St. Petersburg was the organizing center of what Khodasevich called the "collective" culture of Russian symbolism. From 1905 on poets, philosophers and painters used to meet there. Participants of the meetings called them "symposia", Plato's symposion was their model. With the help of memoirs and personal correspondence of the time, the author reconstructs and analyses the events and the main themes discussed at the "Tower". He uses unpublished material from the archives of Viacheslav Ivanov, L. Zinov'eva-Annibal, N. Berdiaev, E. Anichkov, M. Kuzmin and P. Florenskii. The choice of subjects — Eros, love, death, new birth — , the idea of a dialogue enhanced by philosophical and religious reflection, and the way of approaching them were an answer to the needs of the epoch and the concern for being faithful to the symposial model. The author shows how the symposion in their themes and forms is reflected in the creative work of the participants, Viacheslav Ivanov himself, L. Zinov'eva-Annibal, N. Berdiaev and M. Voloshin.
