Maksimilian Voloshin

Maximilian Alexandrovich Voloshin was born on May 28, 1877, in Kyiv, Russian Empire. Russian and Soviet poet, translator, landscape painter, art and literary critic. Voloshin's first book, Poems, was published in 1910. In the works included in the collection, the author's desire to learn the fate of the world and the history of mankind as a whole was clearly traced. In 1916, the writer published a collection of anti-war poems "Anno mundi ardentis" ("In the year of the blazing world"). In the same year, he firmly established himself in his beloved Koktebel, to which he later dedicated a couple of sonnets.
