Образ Одессы в творчестве Владимира Высоцкого

Abstract

Vladimir Vysotsky was connected with Odessa more, then fifteen years starting from 1966 year. That was the first year he came to Odessa film-studio to act in the picture «Vertical». From that moment his «Odessa period» started, when during few years he was in films and wrote songs for these films. Those weren’t only the films of Odessa film-studio – «Vertical», «Short Liaisons» and «Dangerous Tour». At this time in Odessa two pictures with his participation were filming – «Intervention» (“Lenfilm”) and «Two Comrades Were Serving» («Mosfilm»). The songs to most of these films were written by Vysotsky. Some of the songs sounded in films in full, some ones – partly. For various reasons some songs weren’t got to the films. What kind of text they are and how they have been created – is the topic of this report. The special attention is taken to the songs, in which Vysotsky managed to depict the specific character of Odessa conversational speech. It should be said, that the requested materials are dedicated to the poetical depiction of Odessa in the most interesting works of Vysotsky. But it’s not his whole heritage about Odessa and Odessa people.
