Abstract. Andrei Bely, one of the major representatives of Russian symbolism, approached the narodnik movement ideas in certain aspects of his poetical creative work, but to a much greater extent he represented the Russian "Silver Age" culture, thinking in the categories of elevated, imperishable. Disapproval of many things in the surrounding world encouraged Bely’s artistic imagination for grotesque, which manifested itself mostly clearly in the novel "Petersburg". As with many other Russian poets, Bely’s creative work of the 1900-1910s was accompanied by the growing feeling of an impending epochal crash that acquired supreme manifestation in the poem "Christ Has Risen".
