A.A. Blok was born into an intelligentsia family, his grandfather was the rector of St. Petersburg University. Having received a gymnasium, and then a university education, Blok is engaged in drama, journalism. Publishes the first collections: "City" (1904), "Snow Mask" (1907). The combination of mysticism and reality becomes a feature of Blok's symbolism. The poet was married to Mendeleev's daughter. He dedicated the collection Poems about a Beautiful Lady (1902) to her. But, despite the lofty attitude towards his wife, Blok had affairs on the side; the wife "responded" in kind.
After the death of his father in 1909, he traveled to Europe several times. Since the beginning of World War II, Blok serves in the Zemstvo construction unit, in Belarus. The poet enthusiastically accepts the overthrow of the autocracy and enthusiastically - the October Revolution. Great historical events are consonant with the mood of his soul: the poet perceives what happened as an element of cosmic proportions.
The propaganda of the Bolsheviks skillfully uses the authority of the Bloc. He is entrusted with the chairmanship of many commissions and institutions. The loud name of the poet gives weight to the ongoing revolutionary transformations. It is not without excesses: in 1919 he was under investigation by the Cheka for several days.
After the revolutionary poem "The Twelve", which served as the reason for his break with the liberal intelligentsia, Blok hardly writes. Almost all the time is spent on political activities. In addition, harsh living conditions and a hungry ration negatively affect health.
In 1921, Blok's inflammatory process of the cardiovascular system aggravated. The Soviet government issued permission to leave too late, and on August 21, 1921, the great Russian Symbolist died in his Petrograd apartment. Сори меньше не получилось тут самое важное
