The article analyzes the reviews written by V. F. Khodasevich in 1905–1907, when the young critic and poet was searching for his own place in the Symbolist literary fi eld. Half of the reviews are published under the pseudonym «Sigurd». The author of the article looks into the peculiarities of Khodasevich’s work in the Symbolist magazines of the first decade of the 20th century, as well as into the intra-literary circumstances associated with the introduction of the pseudonym. The most important peculiarity is his status of the pupil and, at the same time, the opponent of V. Y. Bryusov.
