Information on the thesis

Contents of the summary. The study of the works of Lviv poets of the period
1960–1970 is important in the context of historical and literary understanding of
their role and place in Ukrainian literary process. In particular, the poetry of Ihor
Kalynets, Roman Kudlyk and Hryhoriy Chubay are sources from which one can
learn about the artistic and aesthetic dominants of these authors, as well as about the
influence of socio-political conditions of the time when they created. At that time,
the atmosphere of constant ideological pressure and the impossibility of realizing
artistic freedom gave rise to literature in the stream of the “socialist-realist method”,
on the one hand, and bright, mostly underground works contrary to the imposed
norms of Soviet propaganda. Naturally, the works of those who did not comply with
political and ideological requirements were mostly taboo at that time.
The life and work of I. Kalynets, R. Kudlyk and H. Chubay are one of the
most notable manifestations of both cultural and ideological protests in the western
region of Ukraine. The dissertation highlights the features of the poetic heritage of
these three authors, outlines the common and distinctive features in the works and
the feeling of peace. The proposed study is an attempt to reveal the polyphony of their poetic works written between the 1960s and 1970s. Therefore, these texts are
considered through the prism of artistic and aesthetic similarities and differences that
form a kind of poetic polyphony.
