VOLOSHIN, Maksimilian (1877-1932). Stikhi o terrore [Poems on the Terror.] Berlin: Knigoizdatel'stvo Pisatelei, 1923.
The first edition of Voloshin's last book, collecting powerful poems composed after the Red Terror that followed the evacuation of the White Army from Crimea. Voloshin was a courageous poet with an unshakeable belief in the quasi-magical power of the poetic word; he frequently made personal appeals to both White and Red officials, reciting his poems to gain access and win a reprieve for individuals in trouble, occasionally saving a fellow poet from execution (cf. Nadezhda Teffi's Memories). Miraculously, Voloshin died not at the hands of the Cheka, but from complications from the flu. Not in Kilgour.
Octavo (184 x 130mm). (Margins evenly yellowed.) Original wrappers printed in red and black (some spotting; short tear at spine foot neatly repaired). Provenance: 'B.B. russkaia biblioteka' (cancelled stamp on front cover and front blank, with manuscript inventory number 2084) – Circle of Lovers of Reading, Copenhagen (stamps on the front cover and front blank).
