Vladimir Narbut
Vladimir Ivanovich Narbut (Russian: Владимир Иванович Нарбут) (1888–1938) was a Ukrainian poet and member of the Akmeist group.
History
Vladimir Ivanovich Narbut (younger brother of Georgii Ivanovich Narbut) was born of Ukrainian parents Ivan Yakovich Narbut and Neonila Nikolayevna Narbut at their country residence, Narbutovka, near the town of Hluchov-Chernigov, Ukraine. The family has a history dating back to the 17th century.
Ivan Yakovich was not sympathetic to the boys' aspirations in art and literature; he wanted them to study law. After finishing school, Georgii and Vladimir ran off to Saint Petersburg and enrolled at the university there. Ivan Yakovich refused to assist financially, but the boys were determined and eventually succeeded in their respective professions.
