Нероковой треугольник

Abstract

The article is aimed at revealing the drama of the personal life of Nina Petrovskaya, focusing on the period when her longtime relationship with Valery Brusov was coming to an end. The comparison of the facts presented in her letters to the poet with her biography demonstrates not only the particularities of the Symbolist concept of the creation of life, but also Brusov’s and Petrovskaya’s principles of modeling the identities of themselves and others.
