metadata.value: The article focuses on the works of the “young emigration” writer Leonid Zurov (1902–1971) in
  the context of traditions of the Russian Silver Age. The research is based on the analysis of the
  stories and novels Cadet, An Ancient Way, Field, Blue Cow Wheat, and some archival materials.
  Author concludes that in Zurov’s works there are features of neo-realism esthetics. Zurov’s
  model of the world is characterized by cosmism, unity of natural and social life, approval of
  the feasibility of existence. In the sphere of style there are the processes typical for neo-realism:
  lyricism in narration, weakening of fable connections, dissolution of genre border. Images
  tend to symbolization (e. g. floral and color symbols), at Zurov’s creativity there are through
  mythemes: ancient way, field, earth, sun, waters. The titles of the novels An Ancient Way and
  Field represent the mythemes which reflected the historical concept of Zurov who studied
  archeology and claimed that the northwest area of Russia had been populated with Slavs since
  ancient times. The field mytheme in Zurov’s works is allocated with the meanings which are
  going back to folklore, Old Russian and literary traditions. The floral symbols are connected
  with comparison of a person and a plant, e. g. killed soldiers on the battlefield are compared
  to the cut-off rye ears. The symbolism of blue and gold colors in the story Blue Cow Wheat
  also goes back to the Russian folklore, an Old Russian iconography and “young symbolism”
  aesthetics. These features indicate the enrichment of traditional realism means with the new
  modernist esthetics.
