Then, so the argument, he converted to Communism and put his pen in the service of that ideology. He paid for it with the price of debasing his talent to the level of a socialist realist hack and, eventually, the price of his life when the regime he so avidly supported turned on him in the great purges of 1937–38. This article takes issue with the claim – which is part of the generally accepted narrative – that Jasieński ‘swerved gently to the left’ in 1923–1925. This article analyses the politics of young Bruno Jasieński's verse, i.e. the texts produced before 1921, the year of the publication of the first collection of his poems. In so far as his early poetic work contains nothing but praise of the Russian revolution and its ethos, his ideological evolution in the nineteen twenties should termed radicalization rather than a shift to the left.}, type={Artykuł}, title={The seeds of revolution in the poetry of young Bruno Jasieński}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/124645/PDF-MASTER/2022-02-RL-04-Pfeifer.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rl.2022.140966}, keywords={Polish literature of the early 20th century, Futurism, avant-garde, revolutionary poetry, Bruno Jasieński (1901–1938)}, }
