Vikentyevich Veresaev is often called an artist-historian of the Russian intelligentsia. And this is the true definition, even in the titles of his works ("No Road", "On a Turn", "In a Deadlock") show the different stages of its path in difficult historical conditions. Veresaev himself passed the indicated life path, having experienced “a million torments” and eventually having realized the great value of life.

Vikenty read a lot, and at the age of 13 he began to write poetry. After graduating from the gymnasium, he entered the historical and philological faculty of St. Petersburg University, where he took an active part in student circles.
