This publication presents poems by Lydia Averianova dedicated to Vsevolod Petrov, art critic, art historian and the author of “memoirs and reflections” about notable participants of the Leningrad culture in the 1930s. Some of these poems were included in Averianova’s “Collected Verse,” others were saved by Petrov. Currently these autographs are preserved in the collection of Galeev-Gallery (Moscow). The publication includes Petrov’s poems written in response to Averianova’s dedications, as well as her other poems, which do not have a specific romantic prototype, but were created during the years of her infatuation with Petrov.
