Обэриуты в кругу Михаила Кузмина (сетевой анализ)
Beginning in the mid-1920s Aleksandr Vvedensky, Daniil Kharms,
and Konstantin Vaginov became acquainted with the circle of the poet, writer, and
playwright Mikhail Kuzmin, and by the close of this decade, they became regular
visitors to his residence. The interactions between Kuzmin and the Oberiuts has
been sufficiently developed; however, numerous studies have shifted the focus to the
pragmatics of rapprochement with the famous writer by the chinary themselves. For
young poets, Kuzmin was the maestro, and all of them sought his creative influence.
Present study examines the community that developed around Kuzmin from 1924
to 1929. For identifying and describing this community network analysis based on
Kuzmin’s diary and data visualization in the form of graphs were employed. This
methodological approach facilitates the tracing of the trajectory of the young poets’
within Kuzmin’s milieu and dynamics of their relationships. The transition from
creative influence to social contacts provides re-approaching the nature of the liter-
ary circle and legitimacy of inquiries concerning the unique community that emerged
in Kuzmin’s residence in the 1920s. The data obtained also reveal patterns and trends
from the clustering of the literary community in the mid-1920s to Kuzmin’s writing
strategy in Trout Breaks the Ice.
