Biography
Born in Podolsk , daughter of a small postal employee [1] . She studied at the Elizabethan Gymnasium [2] in Moscow, where she participated in an underground Bolshevik organization along with Erenburg , Bukharin and Sokolnikov .
Recalls Ilya Ehrenburg (from People, Years, Life ):
Nadia loved poetry, tried to read Block, Balmont, Bryusov to me ... I scoffed at Nadia’s hobby, said that poetry is nonsense, “you need to pull yourself together”. Despite the love of poetry, she perfectly fulfilled all the instructions of the underground organization. It was a sweet girl, modest, with naive eyes and brown hair smoothly combed back ... I often thought: this is who has a strong character! .. [1]
She graduated from high school with a gold medal in 1908, was then arrested, but was soon released, since at the time of her arrest she was not seventeen years old [1] . She studied at the higher female courses Poltoratskaya [3] [~ 1] . She began to write poetry in 1910, and to print in the spring of 1911 in the journal Russian Thought . Then she met Valery Bryusov, who was 18 years older than her.
Bryusov attributed the beginning of the novel with the poetess to 1911. Under his auspices, Nadezhda Lvova published her poems in several magazines, such as “Women's Business”, “New Life”, the almanac “Harvest” and “Mezzanine of Poetry”; and in 1913 the only lifetime collection of poems “Old Tale. Poems of 1911-1912 ”, followed by the introduction by Valery Bryusov [1] [2] .
November 24, 1913, being depressed due to an affair with Bryusov, shot herself. She was buried in the Miussky cemetery.
Speech Disorder
For a long time, she did not pronounce the letter “k”: she said “ingal,” “open,” etc. However, later this defect was corrected by her [1] [3] .
