Bozhidar (pen name of Bogdan Gordeev – Богда́н Петро́вич Горде́ев; 1894-1914), was a Russian poet of Ukrainian origin. In 1913, upon finishing high school, a deep friendship developed between Bozhidar and the Futurist poet Velimir Khlebnikov, which influenced his artistic world and left a profound mark on his poetry. During this period he joined the Futurist poets group "Centrifuge", which also included Boris Pasternak, Nikolai Aseev and Sergei Bobrov.
In 1914, together with his friends Nikolai Aseev and Grigory Petnikov, Bozhidar established the publishing house "Liren" (Лирень) in Kharkov, where he published this poetry collection, "Tambourine". Bozhidar took his own life shortly after publishing "Tambourine", with the outbreak of World War I, at the age of 20. After his death, a second edition of "Tambourine" was printed, with several additional unpublished poems, designed by artist Maria Sinyakova.
