White snow comes... Evtushenko E.A.

"The poet in Russia is more than the poet." With these words, you can characterize the author of these lines, Evgeny Yevtushenko. Being one of the most outstanding and ambiguous figures on the world poetic scene of the last century, he delighted many, amazed, annoyed some, but, as Bulat Okudzhava accurately noted, was a “whole era”.

His civil, social and love lyrics, according to which you can study both the history of the country and the fate of several generations - an epic view of the rebellious twentieth century. Yevtushenko’s poems, captivating with their sincerity, passion and free unchiff thinking, have not lost their relevance to this day, and many were put on music and have become their favorite songs.
