Abstract

The review considers the book “Bulat Okudzhava’s creative path and the myth of the ‘golden age’ ” by M.A. Aleksandrova. This monograph covers the creative heritage of Bulat Okudzhava. M. Alexandrova considers it in a broad literary context. She adequately interprets the writer’s cultural landmarks and the artistic features of his works. She convincingly refutes the popular opinion about the poet as a “singer of antiquity”. The monograph thoroughly examines the motive of personal responsibility as the dominant of Okudzhava’s work of the 1980s - 1990s.
