The comparative constructions in the poetic texts of Yuri Shevchuk

The article remarks that a poetic style of advanced rock-poet Jury Shevchuk is characterized by an active use of comparative constructions. The poet prefers original comparisons under the models which are rarely used in the language (comparisons in the form of appositions, genitive constructions, negative comparisons, comparison chains). At that Shevchuk uses in comparisons both original, unusual images and images which sound classically and prove an integrate connection between works of the rock poet and traditions of the Russian classical literature. Drawing a parallel between the comparative constructions Shevchuk and comparisons in the poetry of S. Esenin and Bunin as the representatives of the romantic branch of the Russian Silver Age. It noted the contacts which appear as on content level (deployed figurativeness, romantic images), and at the level of structure (genitive comparison, the chain of comparisons, etc.).
