Both eminent Russian poets shared much, although they also differed considerably. Peers, they debuted almost simultaneously as Futurists, though their personal contacts began with a conflict within the Futuristic milieu. They were poets-urbanists, but Mayakovsky was captivated by urban civilization as well as ethical and social phenomena, while Pasternak was fascinated with municipal parks. Their acquaintanceship consisted of mutual attraction and recognition, especially for their early, pre-revolutionary works. After the revolution Mayakovsky attempted to draw Pasternak into his organizational initiatives and publication undertakings. Pasternak’s protests led to conflicts and a severance of ties. Despite the deterioration in their relations, Pasternak was deeply touched by Mayakovsky’s suicide.

Boris Pasternak made use of available means of transport and communication on a daily basis. This fact, however, was not reflected in his autobiographical writings, correspondence and his oeuvre. The sole exception was the railway, playing a significant role in the life of the author and his protagonists as well as in the contents and form of his works.

In the novel the night is usually recalled as a time intended for sleep. Sometimes, however, it creates special circumstances for confessions or earnest conversations, which take up the time of sleep. Similarly, sleep is an ordinary physiological state serving rest and the regeneration of strength. Nonetheless, it can also fulfil additional psychological functions, and be associated with profound experiences and recollections or give rise to reflections. Insomnia is an abnormal phenomenon, always caused or conditioned by some sort of exceptional events disturbing the activity and psychic states of the protagonists.

Pasternak retained discretion in presenting the sexual life of his protagonists, and in particular its physiological details. This is not to say that he ignored this motif entirely. The early novel The Childhood of Zhenya Luwers portrayed the physical and psychological development of a twelve-year-old girl on the threshold of womanhood, together with her associated observations and experiences. In The Story the main character goes through two contradictory sexual episodes — with a vulgar prostitute and a woman of high personal culture. As a rule, however, the narrator describes reactions connected with sex, which serve the depiction of emotions and inner experiences, primarily of the female protagonists, while maintaining a certain distance and, at times, by resorting to allusions.

 The novel titled Doctor Zhivago presents a number of tragic situations, conflicts and protagonists. The causes of tragedy can be objective (the war and revolution) or subjective (the characters’ personalities as well as their attitudes, views and decisions). Upon numerous occasions, these causes are linked and enhance one another, thus intensifying the tragic qualities that affect the fate of individuals and large groups alike. It is not only particular protagonists that suffer and perish; whole villages or army and partisan detachments share the same plight. Pasternak demonstrated that tragedy is a prominent and inevitable component of human life.

Boris Pasternak avoided open ideological declarations. We usually discern his attitude and views from his works. As an active participant of the intellectual and artistic life of his times, however, Pasternak was compelled to opt for a standpoint regarding the problems faced by Russian society at the time. The poet represented a certain attitude towards such ideological issues as revolution, anti-Semitism, feminism, the role of Christianity in history, and new ideas and trends in art. Other ideologies such as ecology, Tolstoyism and Marxism, to which he attached lesser importance, should also be mentioned.
