On May 14, RSUH hosted the conference “Rock poetry: text and context: the album One Hundred Years of Solitude”, dedicated to the upcoming 30th anniversary of its release by Yegor Letov’s band in 2023.
The title of the album refers to one of the most popular examples of magical realism - the novel by the Nobel Prize winner in literature, Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez "One Hundred Years of Solitude".
According to Dr. Yury Domansky, professor at the Department of Theoretical and Historical Poetics of RSUH, the album had nothing to do with Marquez's novel, because the title of the novel has already become an independent microtext.
Dr.Yuri Domansky drew attention to the importance of the first lines for the process of decoding the artistic whole. So, in Letov's song "Freedom" there is no direct answer to the question "how Dunno paid for his questions", but there are references to sources - freedom, defeat and triumph. “In any case, paying for Dunno’s questions is just alienation,” noted Yuri Viktorovich.
