Abstract:

In this article, the authors continue to restore the facts of the Lev Mikhailovich Goldyonov’s biography. He was a marginal author of the 1920s, who published in Petrograd-Leningrad under the pseudonym Golubchik-Gostov, two collections of poems “Folklorists” (1922) and “Themes” (1924). Researchers, relying on the data of the personal file of L. M. Goldyonov stored in the Central State Archive of St. Petersburg, reconstruct the events of 1922–1923. This period is very important for the poet’s biography: during this period, Goldyonov finally moved to Petrograd (receives a Petrograd residence permit), publishes the first poetry collection and, with a high degree of probability, meets his own muse – Leonida Kimstach. The chronicle of Golubchik-Gostov’s life and work is added to the article. The article is illustrated with documentary photos from Goldyonov’s personal file.
