Using archival materials as well as contemporary publications, the essay traces Ellis’ development from his early poetic compositions to his poetry books “Stigmata” (1911) and “Argo” (1914), both of which appeared in the Moscow Symbolist publishing house “Musagetes.” Consideration is also given to evaluations of these books in the periodical press. The author concludes that a new edition of the Moscow books is necessary, which would discuss textological issues, supply commentary and also observe the poet’s structural wishes and the books’ compositional peculiarities.

In this publication, previously unknown materials from the archive of the former State Security Department relating to the life and work of the Russian symbolist poet and critic Ellis (Lev L. Kobylinsky) are described and commented on. The documents, which cover the period 1899-1911, clarify certain episodes of Ellis' biography and allow us to place the pre-émigré (Russian) period of his life in the context of the social and political situation in Russia at the turn of the twentieth century.
