Abstract: The subject of this research is the memory as a part of public consciousness. The article examines its formations on the example of the works of one of the most renowned poets of the Soviet era Vladimir Mayakovsky. The author raises the question, how objectively does the poet reflect the historical reality, social phenomena, and events in his poetic ideas? We must acknowledge that the latest generations often base their perception about the revolution on his oeuvres and assessment of the events, and thus form their own. The main conclusion of the conducted research consists in the following: the topics, precise storylines, and created images in Mayakovsky’ poetry in best case scenario have emerged based on the slogans and promises, which accompanied the revolutionary October. The further practice of the Bolshevik reformations was far from the, and at times antithetical. However, the poet preferred not noticing it, having lived his life with wide shut.

Abstract: It is Georgy Fedotov's idea that just like a philosopher and historian, a poet performs educating and identifying functions and often appears to be a messenger of approaching changes. To what degree does this statement deserve to be treated seriously? It would be obviously unscientific to admit that a poet can play a role of a medium. On the other hand, many literary geniuses have been prophets. A good example is Lermontov and his poem 'Prophecy' written in 1830 when Lermontov spoke of a 'dreadful year of Russia' when 'the crown of Russia shall fall'. The subject of the present research article is Alexander Blok's poetic heritage, its conceptual and prophetic potentials. The method of analysis is Sergey Bulgakov's statement that a teacher can create his own interpretation of a poem through 'summarizing thoughts and impressions thereof' as well as Mikhail Bakhtin's idea that a person who perceives a poetical work also perceives its 'rhythm, intonation, articulatory tension, and internal gestures' and, thus, starts to 'think and live according to culture'. The novelty of the article (and the main conclusion) is that the author emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary research in the integrated analysis of Alexander Blok's poetical writing who, as he said himself, felt the future in the music of his poems. According to the author, such analysis could have been made by literary critics, poets and experts in musical creativity.
