perspective the main ideas of the book by the famous Slavist&#13;
Omri Ronen, published in Russian in 2000 under the title “The&#13;
Silver Age as Intention and Fiction”. In Russia, discussions and&#13;
interpretations of Ronen’s book had three main focuses. The first&#13;
focused on the origins and dissemination of the term, the second&#13;
focused on its semantic adequacy, and the third focused on its&#13;
evaluative aspects. As the author of the book shows, the tradition&#13;
of referring to the first decades of the 20th century as the «Silver&#13;
Age» originated among the Russian émigré community. This metaphor was uncritically adopted by the Soviet intelligentsia&#13;
in the 1980s, becoming an expression of nostalgic longing for&#13;
the lost creative freedom of the early 20th century. According&#13;
to Ronen, the original meaning of the term, as presented in the&#13;
works of R.I.Ivanov-Razumnik and V.A.Pyast, was distorted&#13;
in the article by N.A.Otsup (1933), who ignored the critical&#13;
assessments of the era in question. Ronen concludes that the&#13;
«erroneous term» should be «expelled from the halls of Russian&#13;
literature.» However, it is unlikely that we can follow his call&#13;
today and abandon the established naming of the era. At the&#13;
same time, all the origins and meanings of the term «Silver&#13;
Age» found in his book should be taken into account in modern&#13;
discussions about it, and the history of its emergence and life is&#13;
important and interesting in itself</p></abstract><abstract xml:lang="ru" abstract-type="summary"><p>В статье предпринимается попытка&#13;
осмыслить с сегодняшних позиций основные идеи книги&#13;
известного слависта Омри Ронена, вышедшей на русском&#13;
языке в 2000 году под названием «Серебряный век как&#13;
умысел и вымысел». В России обсуждения и толкования&#13;
книги Ронена имели три основных направления. Первое&#13;
включало поиски происхождения и путей распространения&#13;
термина, второе — проблемы его смысловой адекватности,&#13;
третье — его оценочные аспекты. Как показывает автор&#13;
книги, традиция называть эпоху первых десятилетий&#13;
ХХ столетия «серебряным веком» родилась в среде русской&#13;
эмиграции. Эта метафора была некритически принята&#13;
советской интеллигенцией 1980-х годов, став выражением&#13;
ностальгической тоски по утраченной творческой свободе&#13;
начала ХХ века. По мнению Ронена, первоначальный&#13;
смысл термина, представленный в работах Р.И.ИвановаРазумника и В.А.Пяста, был искажен в статье Н.А.Оцупа&#13;
(1933), игнорировавшего критические оценки обсуждаемой&#13;
эпохи. Ронен делает вывод о том, что «ошибочный&#13;
термин» должен быть «изгнан из чертогов российской&#13;
словесности». Однако вряд ли сегодня возможно последовать&#13;
его призыву и отказаться от сложившегося именования&#13;
эпохи. Вместе с тем все обнаруженные в его книге истоки&#13;
и смыслы термина «серебряный век» должны быть&#13;
учтены в современных рассуждениях о нем, а история его&#13;
возникновения и жизни важна и интересна сама по себе</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Омри Ронен</kwd><kwd>Серебряный век</kwd><kwd>направления дискуссий</kwd><kwd>история и значение термина</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Omry Ronen</kwd><kwd>the Silver Age</kwd><kwd>areas of discussion</kwd><kwd>history and meaning of the term</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><ref id="ref1"><mixed-citation publication-type="other" xml:lang="ru">Ронен О.
