Saint Petersburg City, Russian Federation

In the late 1890s, Vasily Vasilyevich collaborated with the "Journal dlya vseh" and "Syn otechestva". Since the early 1900s, he published poems and short stories in the magazine "Russkoe bogatstvo", "Mir bozhi", "Obrazovanie", "Niva" and others. In 1905, Vasily Vasilyevich published the book "Stihotvoreniya" (1905). In 1907, he published a collection of "Poems. grazhdanskie motivi. lirika". The last works of Vasily Vasilyevich are written in a more subjective manner, they are dominated by the theme of death and all sorts of fashionable "questions" (provocation, the problem of gender, decadence in art and in life, and so on). Almost all of his prose is collected in the three-volume "Rasskazi". His early death was caused by the consumption, from which he suffered all his life.
