The article is devoted to the work of the undeservedly forgotten poet Andrey Allin (pseudonym Andrey Blum), based on the analysis of his collection “The Solar Result” (Constantinople, 1922). It was the second collection of poems published by “TsaregradskyTsekh Poetov” (Tsargrad Guild of Poets) society which is little-known nowadays. The main orientation of Allin's works corresponds to the principal thesis declared by Constantinople Guild of Poets “Let us be as simple (in our complexity) as the frescoes of Tsargrad”. The book is divided into 6 entitled sections and includes both "The Songs of Youth" (from 1913 to 1921) and" The Last Lyrics " of 1922.

The almanac "Foreign call", published in 1921 and 1925, recorded the main signs and ideas of the social, cultural, literary life of Russian Constantinople. The editions of the almanac of different years reflect the peculiar evolution of the attitude of Russian refugees to emigration, problems of their self-identification, interest in oriental motives. But the idea of the high culture of exiles and their positive influence on Turkish society remains unchanged.
