Robert Rozhdestvensky declared himself loudly, with all sincerity addressing his peers, “guys with raised collars,” just like himself, in the sixties, when poetry burst into squares and stadiums. The poet “has always stood out for his unwavering fidelity to once accepted values,” according to L. A. Anninsky. For the poet Rozhdestvensky there were no barriers, he always mastered the whole Universe, was on first terms with the entire planet, while remaining a master who, in addition to a precise verbal blow, was characterized by organic poetic breathing. In the hearts of people, the memory of R. Rozhdestvensky will forever be associated with his poems about love, piercing in purity and height of feeling, but there was also “Requiem”, and lyrics, and piercing last verses, and, of course, songs - they sounded on the radio, their the whole country sang, they became the leitmotif of our favorite paintings. The book most fully presents poems, songs, poems by the poet beloved by many.
