An attempt is undertaken to trace the aesthetic and the semantic hierarchy of the poetry of these years, to describe the ambiguous atmosphere of ideological divisions in the literary environment within the context of radical political and economic transformation, spiritual and value shifts in society. Along with the topical priorities and key trends of the creativity of the acknowledged poets due attention is paid to the space of the poetic world, shaped by a new generation of poets.
