	Alexander Blok's Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Blok's early poetry is linked to the traditions of Zhukovsky, Polonsky, Fet, as well as to the epigonic lyrics of the 19th century.
		Blok now looks back to his second period as to a fall, a substitution of modern decadence for living and creative symbolism; ecstatic transcendence beyond the limits of the mundane turned to sin.
		Blok destroys the harmonious and symmetric edifice of verse, introducing varied strophic patterns; yet at the same time, the poem possesses a strict cyclic structure, and its twelve parts correspond to the number of twelve apostles, the red guards of the poem.

	"Poetic Artistry and Political Ambiguity: Pushkin and Blok Remain Objective and Balanced" by John Kennedy
		Blok's notoriety came at the beginning of the twentieth century, when Russia moved politically into the Soviet era and poetically into the Symbolist era.
		Blok seems to insinuate that these people are ignorant, foolish, and do not understand what the civil uprising is all about.
		Alexander Blok's poetry is certainly ambiguous and difficult to align exactly with either Tsarist or Bolshevik sympathies.

	LEON TROTSKY Literature and Revolution Chapter 3—Alexander Blok (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Blok felt the reaction between the two Revolutions to be an emptiness of spirit, and the aimlessness of the epoch he felt to be a circus, with cranberry sauce for blood.
		Blok wrote of "the true mystic twilight of the years which preceded the first Revolution" and of "the untrue mystic after-effect which immediately followed it." ("Retaliation.") The second Revolution gave him a feeling of wakening, of movement, of purpose and of meaning.
		Blok called one-half a mangy cur, and the other halt he blessed with the blessings at his command, that is, with verses and with Christ.

		Alexander Blok (Александр Александрович Блок, November 16, 1880 - August 7, 1921), was probably the most gifted lyrical poet that Russia produced after Alexander Pushkin.
		After the parents' separation, Blok lived with his aristocratic relatives at the Shakhmatovo manor near Moscow, where he discovered the philosophy of his uncle Vladimir Solovyov, and the verse of then little-known 19th-century poets, Fyodor Tyutchev and Afanasy Fet.
		Actually, Blok faded away gradually, and several months before his death delivered a celebrated lecture on Pushkin, who, he believed, was the iconic figure capable of uniting white and red Russia.
