Abstract

 The article is dedicated to the interaction of Uladzimir Karatkievich with young Ukrainian poets from the mid-twentieth century who studied in Kyiv. Such a process is interpreted in terms of literary mores and through an overview, comparative-typological reading of their works. The analysis indicates that the Belarusian author was integrated into an environment in which he was formed as the man of letters interested in historical topics and as an extraordinary reader. Like Vasyl Symonenko and Mykola Som, he recorded the recognizable image of the student community of those years, in particu- lar, strengthening the creative atmosphere. Using irony, as well as playing around with everyday details, the writers of this generation sought to demarcate themselves from the socialist realistic worldview and stereotyped interpretations of facts in general. In turn, thanks to the intensive polylogue among the early Sixtiers, the university myth is reflected in the structure of Kyiv text.
