Abstract
The article discusses the reasons for referring to the estate text of the poets-“sixtiers”. It is proved that it could not be caused by simple historical interest, but was caused by the crisis of poetics, at the same time the exhaustion of its resources and the inability to embed another existential trial in the inherited resource of existential experience. Then the estate turns out to be a place of remembrance, where nature can be indistinguishable from culture, and in this indistinguishability a drift is possible from simple and routine forms of the “sixtiers” poetry to more complex ones. The specificity of the estate in the poetry of the three leading Russian poets of the sixties, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Andrei Voznesensky and Bella Akhmadulina, is characterized, and it is shown that although the reasons for addressing the estate theme were different, the results, such as dialogue with tradition and updated author’s identity, a new reflection mode, turned out to be the same. This allows us to clarify literary estates as a resource not only of cultural memory in literature, but also of innovations in poetics or of those intermedial combinations and unexpected allusions that lead to innovations that are not limited to the thematic side.
