Berlin Poets' Club

The Berlin Poets' Club (Russian: Берлинский кружок поэтов (1928–1933) was a group of Russian émigré poets. Members included:

• Mikhail Gorlin (leader of the club)
• Raisa Blokh (wife of M. Gorlin)
• Vladimir Korvin-Piotrovskii
• Nina Korvin-Piotrovskaia
• Vladimir Sirin (Nabokov)
• Vera Nabokov
• Yuri Ofrosimov
• Sofiya Pregel
• Boris Vilde
• Yuri Dzhanumov
• Nikolai Belotsvetov
• Yevgueni Rabinovich, and some others.

The club had to stop its activities in 1933 when the Nazis came to power, as many of its members were Jewish. Most of them moved to Paris, where later some of them were killed during the Holocaust.

Literature

Some notes and correspondence from the Club are located in the Vladimir Korvin-Piotrovskii Papers at the Beinecke Library, Yale University.
