Abstract
The aesthetic norms of Vyacheslav Ivanov, the most important figure in the Russian Symbolist movement, and his philosophical conceptions grew out of Classical Antiquity, German philosophy, and the philosophy of Vladimir Solovyov. Vladimir Solovyov had a strong impact on the symbolists, especially such renowned ones as Alexandr Blok, Andrey Bely, Valeriy Bryusov. Vladimir Solovyov’s aesthetic system appears as a syncretization of the antique notion of Beauty, pagan in its essence, with Christianity. A feminine image, Saint Sophia, is revived from Hellenic Antiquity, or rather from German Romanticism and Jacob Boehme, as well as Orthodox theology, in the poems of the Symbolists. Vyacheslav Ivanov worshiped Vladimir Solovyov as a Christian thinker and poet and tried to follow him.
