Georgii Vladimirovich Ivanov (Russian: Георгий Владимирович Иванов; 11 October 1894 – 26 August 1958) was a leading poet and essayist of the Russian emigration between the 1930s and 1950s.

As a banker's son, Ivanov spent his young manhood in the elite circle of Russian golden youth. He started writing pretentious verses, imitative of Baudelaire and the French Symbolists, at a precocious age. Although his technique of versification was impeccable, he had no life experience to draw upon. The favourite subjects of his early poetry were Rococo mannerisms and gallant festivals. Unsurprisingly, he named two of his books "The Embarkment for Cythera", alluding to Watteau's great painting.

“Россия счастие. Россия свет.
А, может быть, России вовсе нет.

И над Невой закат не догорал,
И Пушкин на снегу не умирал,

И нет ни Петербурга, ни Кремля —
Одни снега, снега, поля, поля…

Снега, снега, снега… А ночь долга,
И не растают никогда снега.

Снега, Снега, снега… А ночь темна,
И никогда не кончится она.

Россия тишина. Россия прах.
А, может быть, Россия — только страх.

Веревка, пуля, ледяная тьма
И музыка, сводящая с ума.

Веревка, пуля, каторжный рассвет
Над тем, чему названья в мире нет.”
Georgy Ivanov, Стихотворения
