The triumphal march through the era of confusion and vacillation is over. Citizen Poet - a charming hooligan, a master of disguise, truthful under every mask, immediately after the civil funeral service he passes into eternity. The authors - Mikhail Efremov, Dmitry Bykov, Andrey Vasiliev - gathered a society of immortal poets to look at the changing world, today's Russia and print what they saw. Through the mouths of Pasternak and Mandelstam, Vysotsky and Tvardovsky, Kipling and Barto, Citizen Poet talks about the Belt of the Virgin Mary, Bolotnaya Square, badminton propaganda and other phenomena of action-packed life. The book contains a complete collection of texts from “Citizen Poet” from October 2011 to March 2012, the best improvisations by Dmitry Bykov.
