Abstract
An issue of the subject in contemporary lyrics is widely discussed at the present time, being one of the most relevant in the research of contemporary poetry. One of the issues is the relevance of the term lyrical hero in relation to contemporary poetry, which, following the analyticism path, departs from the actual lyrical utterance. The article expresses an opinion that the idea of a lyrical hero remains relevant in the study of song poetry, in particular rock poetry of the 1980s – 1990s. Based on the classic article by Yu.N. Tynyanov ≪Block≫, in which an attempt is made for the first time to qualify the definition under discussion, the article analyzes the work of Russian rock poets, proves the presence of the lyrical hero in the lyrics of K. Kinchev and Yu. Shevchuk. Also, the conclusion is made about the lyrical hero specifics in classical Russian rock poetry. It is connected not only with intratext factors, such as the presence of the self-subject, the possibility for a rock poet of constructing a single plot of the hypertext, which includes biographical motives, but also extratext factors of the existence of a synthetic rock text, including the presence of the image of a lyrical hero in the socio-cultural sphere, the creation of a media image, the formation of a stage image.
