Kuzmin's affirmation of the love men have for each other made him an immediately important literary figure.
More than a tale of physical attraction, the novel presents a hero's deep affection for his lover as meaningful and rewarding.
Kuzmin remained the most outspoken and influential LGBT writer in Russia, inspiring others like Viacheslav Ivanov, Lydia Zinovieva, Nikolai Kliuev, and Sergei Esenin.
