Pobeg na ryvok [Burst Escape]

Today, when life-long half-barrels were left behind, early posthumous praises made a noise and the period of cultural canonization of Vladimir Vysotsky as a popular bard and an equally popular beloved actor began, the uniqueness of his talent, which always existed separately and did not dissolve in a variable language common formulas. Paradoxically, this fidelity to himself was combined in Vysotsky?s personality and work with an extraordinary receptivity to other artistic voices, to the figurative system of high poetry and prosaism of everyday speech, with openness to all kinds of styles and genres, themes and moods, poetic sizes and lyrical roles. A keen sense of vital and poetic truth, an absolute hearing rejecting any false intonation, an incredible variety of roles not played on the stage and in the movie, but lived in songs and poems, all this polyphony of meanings and images contained the pages of this book .
