Childhood and youth on November 20, lawyer Nikolai Romanovich Hippius and his wife Anastasia Vasilievna, in the adventure of Stepanova, was born a daughter, who was called Zinaida.

The exact sciences were never interested in the enthusiastic nature. From an early age, Zinaida began to keep diaries and write poetry - first comic, about family members. She even managed to infect an aunt and governesses with enthusiasm.

After Crimea, the family moved to the Caucasus. There lived the brother of mother Alexander Stepanov. His material well -being allowed them to spend the summer in Borjomi. The next year, the family went to Manglisi, where Stepanov died of inflammation of the brain. Hippi were forced to stay in the Caucasus. Zinaida managed to conquer the youth of Tiflis. The Devil with a rosalical eyes attracted eyes, thoughts, feelings of everyone who came across her.

Gippius was nicknamed the "poetess", thereby recognizing her literary talent. In the circle, which she gathered around her in her youth, everyone wrote poetry, imitating Semyon Nakson to the most popular at that time. Poetry Gippius already stood out from the total mass of the emotional component of the works of comrades. The Literature of Zinaida Hippius House of Merezhkovsky became the center of religious-philosophical and public life of St.

Petersburg. All young thinkers and novice writers dreamed of getting to the literary evenings of the spouses. Visitors to the salon recognized the authority of Hippius and for the most part believed that it was she who belonged to the main role in the undertakings of the community that developed around Dmitry Sergeyevich. In the literary circles of the capital, Zinaida Nikolaevna was in advanced positions: with her assistance, the literary debut of Alexander Blok took place, she brought to the people of the novice Osip Mandelstam, she belongs to the first review of verses by no one of Sergei Yesenin.

Since the year, she began to be published: her first publication was poems in the magazine Northern Bulletin, then a story in “Bulletin of Europe”. Later, for the publication of literary and critical articles, she took the pseudonym Anton extreme. Therefore, publishers printed their works at their own peril and risk. Hippius was at the origins of symbolism that arise in Russia. The main motives of Early Poetry Gippius are the curses of boring reality and the glorification of the world of fantasy, a dreary feeling of disunity from people and at the same time a thirst for loneliness.

In the stories of the first two books “New People” for the year and “Mirrors”, the ideas of Fedor Dostoevsky, which Hippius missed through the prism of her own decadent worldview, dominated the year. In the ideological and creative development of the writer, the first Russian revolution played a large role-years. In his works, Gippius argued that without the “revolution of the spirit” social transformation is impossible.

At the same time, the events of the year forced writers to emigrate. In exile, Gippius moved to Paris with her husband. The emigrant work of Zinaida consisted of poems, memoirs and journalism. She performed with sharp attacks on Soviet Russia and prophesied her a quick fall. A memoir cycle “Living Faces” appeared, in which the revolutionary movement was described as “a traction suffocation”.

Gippius published personal notes under the name “Blue Book. Petersburg diaries - "already in Belgorod in the X.Having settled in Paris, where they still had an apartment from pre -revolutionary times, Merezhkovsky resumed acquaintance with the color of Russian emigration: Nikolai Berdyaev, Ivan Bunin, Alexander Kuprin and others. The meetings were closed, and the guests were invited exclusively on the list.

With the outbreak of World War II, the community ceased to exist. In exile, the only and fatal time the spouses of spouses parted. Gippius directly called Adolf Hitler “an idiot with a mouse under the nose”, while Merezhkovsky justified the actions of the dictator. The writer's views were not supported by the Russian intelligentsia: the house was empty, debts and poverty began.

Personal life during his lifetime about the love adventures of the “White Devils” was composed of legends. A woman who had a huge number of fans was married only once. Her husband was a notorious philosopher and poet Dmitry Merezhkovsky. Their union was repeatedly called fictitious: Zinaida attributed novels with the entire literary bomon of St. Petersburg, and Dmitry-male failure.

Only close friends knew how much these two extraordinary people loved each other. Young people met in the year in Borjomi. There, Gippius improved health, and Merezhkovsky, who traveled at that time in the Caucasus, was in the city passage. At the first conversation, Zinaida felt their mystical kinship of souls. Dmitry was also fascinated by the summer poetess. He was captivated not so much by the beauty of the girl as her mind.

A couple of months later, the man made his lover, and she, not doubting for a second, agreed. The couple did not celebrate the wedding day. Upon returning home, each of them went to work: Merezhkovsky - in prose, and Hippius to poetry. Much later, in the memoirs, the poetess admits that for her this event in her personal life was so insignificant that on the morning of the next day she no longer remembered that she had married.

It is reliably known that there were no intimate relationships between spouses. Hippius, in principle, was not interested in carnal joys. The woman did not think of life without two things: reflection and intellectual work. She either despised and denied or ridiculed everything else. Of course, Zinaida flattered the attention of men. The decadent Madonna knew how to use her beauty. She liked to fascinate and be fascinated, but then the matter never went further.

The white devil loved to look into the eyes of men in love with her and see her own reflection there. In the year, the Merezhkovsky family became close to the publicist Dmitry Philosopher. The writers not only created together, but also lived. In the eyes of the Triple Union society, writers were the height of indecent. People condemned Hippius, saying that she disgraced herself and her husband so unworthy behavior.

The entertainers of morality forgot that with Dmitry Philosophy there could be no vicious relationship, if only because the publicist was non -traditional sexual orientation, and from the mere thought of physical contact with the woman “turned inside out”. Their cohabitation is a failed experiment, the purpose of which was the destruction of ossified moral standards.

Whatever rumors about the poetess, no matter how many novels were on her account, all this eventually did not matter, because the soul of a creative lady did not recognize anyone except Dmitry Merezhkovsky, with whom Zinaida Nikolaevna lived for half a century. The death of Zinaida Hippius after the death of her husband Gippius began to write the book “Dmitry Merezhkovsky”, but due to the fact that she had stopped functioning her right hand, she could not finish her work.

Deprived of the opportunity to create a poetess gradually lost his mind. The writer wanted to reunite with her husband as soon as possible, so she periodically made attempts to go into the world of another previous time. After a series of failures, the still working fantasy of a woman created a world in which Dmitry Sergeyevich was still alive. The only joy of the lady was crazy was a cat.

Not a second, the animal left the mistress left the woman only once - on the day of her death. Dying, Zinaida Nikolaevna tried vainly to find her hands with her companion in recent years.

On the evening of September 1, Father Vasily Zenkovsky communed Hippius. She understood little, but the communion swallowed. The legend of the Silver Age went into oblivion on September 9 at the age of 76. She was buried in the Russian cemetery of Saint-Geneviev-de-Bois in the same grave with her husband. Remembering the causes of death, Hippius, the secretary of the poetess noted that in the last seconds her face lit up "an expression of deep happiness." The memory of the famous image of Zinaida Hippius was her portrait in the men's suit of the authorship of Leo Bakst.

The artist managed to portray the freedom and relaxation of the woman. Despite the similarity with the photo of Zinaida Nikolaevna, the portrait conveyed the internal personality of the celebrity. Drawing the initial sketch, Leo Bakst, in order to show the world the poetess's endlessly long legs, glued paper to the sheet.In the year, the cartoon “Zinina Walk” appeared directed by Natalia Malygin and the painting “Demon”, the director of which was acted by Irina Evteeva.
