\n \n BELY Andrey (real name and family name Boris Nikolaevich Bugaev) (1880-1934), writer. He graduated from the Natural Sciences Department of Physics and Mathematics Faculty of Moscow University (1903). He was published for the first time in 1901, and was an adherent of the so-called young symbolists. From 1905 he regularly visited St. Petersburg and Tsarskoe Selo; visited Ivanov's Wednesdays, Merezhkovsky's Salon. He was published in The World of Art, New Way and other journals. He was greatly influenced by Alexander Blok (he started correspondence in 1903, was personally acquainted in 1904), friendship with him endured heavy and painful trials, caused by the love of Bely to Block's wife - L.D. Blok. He delivered reports in Tenishevsky School, The Society for Lovers of Artistic Writing (took place at the Apollo journal editing board), etc. Bely's novel Petersburg (1-3 volumes of Sirin Petersburg publishing house, 1913-14; as a separate edition - Petersburg, 1916) was an attempt of an integral description of the city based on the so-called Petersburg text created by the preceding literary traditions and 200-year old mythology of St. Petersburg. The confrontation of European rationalism and Asian anarchy is depicted in the image of St. Petersburg in the novel, which is characterised above all by the exactness of indications to concrete places of the city. The global crisis of the historical development of Russia is reflected in a terrifying absurdity of apocalyptic Petersburg space depicted in the novel. He was a participant and editor of Scythes volume. He was one of the founders and chairs of the Free Philosophic Association Soviet in Petersburg (1919-21). He was closely associated with Alkonost publishing house. In 1931 he lived twice for a long period at R.V. Ivanov-Razumnik's in Detskoe Selo, where he was associated with V.Y. Shishkov, A.N. Tolstoy, K.S. Petrov-Vodkin, and others. Bely's recollections, The Beginning of the Century (Moscow; Leningrad, 1933), Between Two Revolutions (Leningrad, 1934) has a broad description of St. Petersburg - Petrograd culture life. He lived at 24 Liteiny Avenue (1905); 66 Nevsky Prospect (1905-06); 35 Tavricheskaya Street (1912; 1920-21), in The House of Arts (1920); in Tsarskoe Selo (Pushkin) - at 20 Kolpinskaya Street (1917).
