Abstract: The magazine "Apollo" completes a number of symbolist magazines of the Silver Age and in a sense sums up the intensive artistic life of the late XIX – early XX century. Its pages captured the rapid and multidirectional artistic discourse of the turn-of-the-century era, which was analyzed in the article with the help of discourse analysis. Aesthetic manifestos published on the pages of the art magazine "Apollo" were chosen as the subject of this research, the object of the work was the evolution of aesthetic and philosophical ideas in "Apollo". The content analysis of the journal's materials allowed us to study the development of the ideas of symbolism and acmeism within the framework of the editorial program of Apollo, which was the purpose of this work. The magazine "Apollo" is traditionally perceived as a magazine that promoted the ideas of Acmeism, however, the analysis of published materials shows that an acute symbolist controversy unfolded on the pages of "Apollo" in the early 1910s. In addition, the study demonstrates that the ideas of Acmeism were very heterogeneous and did not receive the support of many members of the editorial board, who believed that Acmeism had not formed into a full-blooded literary phenomenon. The results of the research can contribute to theoretical knowledge about the "Apollo" magazine and the history of Russian journalism, as well as the history of the development of the ideas of symbolism and acmeism.
