Enjoyed my Russian history courses the most out of my college
   experience.  Some have said that the Silver Age is so named because the Golden Age was better.  I
   don't think that's true, just that the Silver Age was different in terms of Russian Culture and
   its development.
Others would say (and I think this is more
   accurate) that the Golden Age was more centered around musical composers, symphonies and novels,
   while the Silver Age was more focused on poets and
   playwrights.
Mostly we are talking about cultural history in the
   late 19th and early 20th centuries, before World War I and the Bolshevik Revolution.  Playwright
   Anton Chekhov was during this time period, as was poet Boris Pasternak.  Composer Igor Stravinksi
   is also considered part of the Silver Age.
The accompanying link
   does a nice job of identifying other artists and musicians that fit into that time
   period.
