““O fuzilamento de Gumilióv (1886-1921), a longa agonia espiritual e as torturas físicas levaram Blók (1880-1921) à morte, as privações cruéis e a morte desumana de Khlebnikóv (1855-1922), os suicídios anunciados de Iessiênin (1895-1925) e Maiakóvski (1893-1930). Assim pereceram, no curso dos anos 20 deste século, na idade de 30 a 40 anos, os inspiradores de toda uma geração. E cada um deles teve a nítida e insuportável consciência do irremediável.””
