Abstract:
The article is devoted to the theme of war in the poetry of the Russian diaspora. The subject of consideration is the works that reflect the spiritual experience of the poets of the first wave of Russian emigration, who experienced the historical upheavals that befell Russia and Europe. The article presents various centers of Russian emigration: Paris, Prague, Berlin, Harbin, and Helsingfors. But wherever the fate of Russian poets took them on their path of voluntary exile, their work was always characterized by an uncompromising attitude towards the brutality of war, which determined both the content and the tone of their poetry, as well as their loyalty to their distant homeland.
Keywords: Russian diaspora, war, centers of Russian emigration, poets of the Russian exile.
