Poet v Rossii - bol'she, chem poet. - Evtushenko Evgenii Aleksandrovich

"A poet in Russia is more than a poet" - these winged lines from the poem "Brother's Hes" by Yevgeny Yevtushenko, the famous poet-"sixties", could become an epigraph to his work. A rebel, a dreamer, a speaker and a tribune, he glorified poetry that rushed "to the attack of the streets" and was one of those whose work was a breath of freedom and truth for many people. Today Yevtushenko is known all over the world, his works have been translated into more than seventy languages. He is an honorary member of many foreign academies, winner of various literary prizes, and on his poems written dozens of songs ("Do Russians want wars?", "With me this is what happens...", "And the snow will fall, fall ...", "God!" and others).
