Abstract

In the long history of Russo-German cultural relations there is one period in particular in which relations intensify to the point of meaningful interaction. That is the period approximately from 1910 to 1925, coinciding with the emergence and development of literary Expressionism. It is to the Russian aspect of that interaction that the present essay is devoted.
