We don’t need to blame Brusov and other symbolists for all the deadly sins almost including the October revolution. In fact, the Bolsheviks first destroyed symbolism as an old school, and their attempts in selecting figures of the new culture went far beyond Symbolistic ideas on the creation of life. After all, it is not the fault of the Russian Symbolists that their idea to reshape a new creative personality resulted in the destruction of this very personality in the U.S.S.R.
