Today, when lifetime half-bans are behind us, posthumous posthumous eulogies have died down, and the period of Vladimir Vysotsky's cultural canonization as a nationwide bard and an equally nationwide beloved actor has arrived, the uniqueness of his phenomenon becomes obvious, which even after decades does not lend itself to "appropriation", to transformation into a "solidly cast monument", but continues to exist separately, to follow "its own track" - "without insurance", "in spite of ropes, cables, wires", behind the line of "red flags". This isolation, separateness, irreducibility to common formulas and well-trodden paths (which makes the author truly alive), paradoxically, is combined with his extraordinary receptivity to other creative voices, to the figurative structure of high poetry and proseisms of everyday speech, with openness to all kinds of styles and genres, themes and moods, verse sizes and lyrical roles. A keen sense of life and poetic truth, an absolute ear that rejects any false intonation, an incredible variety of roles not played on stage and in the movies, but lived in songs and poems - all this polyphony of meanings and images - the pages of this book contain.
