Abstract
The article is focused on the myth of Vladimir Vysotsky to be formed by Soviet and Russian critics as much as the further transformation in the perception of his personality in the modern Russian society. The legacy of Vladimir Vysotsky is “appropriated” by the official culture, in fact, immediately after his death. From an unrecognized singer during the lifetime, he becomes a classic included in school curricula. In the process the figure of the poet/ singer is banalized as much as classified.
The contexts behind it lose their former meaning and are transformed to please representatives of certain socio-groups depending on their interests: from nativists to intellectuals.
