- Abstract
This article analyzes the religious themes in Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok's work, "Diary," in the years 1901-1902. The author notes that Blok, a Russian lyrical poet, was influenced by ideas typical of Russian symbolism and the Russian Religious Renaissance (i.e., Vladimir Sergeyevich Solovyov's (a Russian philosopher, poet, literary critic, theologian), as well as that of contemporary fellow Russian symbolists (Andrei Bely), and 19th century Russian poets (Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev, Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet, Yakov Petrovich Polonsky). His unique religious theory, however, links Christian beliefs with Greek mythology, paganism, Satanism, legends, theology and his own thoughts, coming together in a Modernist "self-religion" (theurgy) where the creative power of the human self is unrestrained.
