Yuri Tynyanov and The Serapions
Yuri Tynyanov supervised the studies and publications of Serapion Brothers since he met them at the "House of Arts" in St. Petersburg. He supported their soft non-conformism, their quiet opposition to the official Moscow-based Soviet literature.

Most members of the Serapion Brothers gradually conformed to official socialist realism.
