Bryzgalova E.N.

Abstract

The article deals with the representation of the game beginning in the poetry of A.N. Vertinsky. The main attention is paid to the study of space-time relations in verses of different years. The combination of the past, present and future withing a single poem allows you to create an image of the hero, to characterize his personality, to show how his life will develop. Dream and reality in the poet’s work form a single world, constantly intersecting in the life and fate of the hero. Occurring and dreaming events are perceived as equivalent.

PERSONALITY AND LITERARY WORKS OF M.A. SHOLOKHOV AS PART OF CONTEMPORARY RUSSIAN PROSE: THE BASIC TRENDS OF PERCEPTION

Soldatkina Y.V.

Abstract

The article analyzes examples of the contemporary authors’ references to the biography and works of M.A. Sholokhov, the renowned Russian writer of the twentieth century. Artistic principles of epic narrative, peculiar to Sholokhov’s prose, are not in demand by modern literature; Sholokhov’s narratives are adapted - the emphasis is on family/household and love themes. However, at the same time Sholokhov’s allusions are instrumental in the creation of the unique historical background, giving credence to the literary descriptions of the 1920s-1930s, and the interest in Sholokhov’s characters and stories correlates with the general cultural interest in the rethinking of the Soviet past.

IMAGES OF LIGHT AND SILENCE IN OLEG VOLKOV’S AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL EPIC “PLUNGE INTO DARKNESS”

Abdokova M.B.

Abstract

Тhe article looks upon the expressive means characteristic of O.V. Volkov’s autobiographical narrative “Plunge into Darkness”. The writer’s most important oeuvre has never been studied as a literary and artistic artifact. The vast archival material of the Stalin work camp era is not simply reproduced but is condensed in a gallery of portraits, landscapes - visual and audio images. In his “literary painting” Oleg Volkov utilizes light and silence as his main means of transcendental expansion of writer’s immanent style. The order in which light and day alternate or link define the superstructural metaphysic architectonics of Oleg Volkov’s book.

THE THEME OF POWER IN WORKS OF ALEXANDER BASHLACHEV: THE IMAGES OF STALIN AND NAPOLEON

Gavrikov V.A., Klyachenkov E.A.

Abstract

The article deals with the theme of power in the works of Alexander Bashlachev. First and foremost, it concerns the images of “bloody rulers”: Stalin and Napoleon. “Stalin text” is implemented in the cycle of “Songs in a whisper”. In these works, Vysotsky’s influence is felt, which Bashlachev probably inherits his antitotalitarian pathos from. For Bashlachev the phenomenon of power is associated with the theme of death and the infernal world. This tendency is most fully implemented in the song “The Absolute Janitor”, where Stalin is represented as a part of the impersonal force from the beyound, its “guardian”. The image of Napoleon is considered on the material of the song “Griboedovsky Waltz”. In addition, the article offers the periodization of Bashlachev’s works. The authors distinguish five stages: early poems, early songs, songs of the “Russian cycle”, the “ontological” stage and the fifth stage, in the center of which there are experiments with lexical consonances and searches in the field of etymology. The third (“Russian”) period is full of lyrical thoughts about the nature of power more than any other.
