Venedikt Erofeev is a vivid and ambiguous phenomenon in Russian literature. His famous poem "Moscow-Petushki," written back in 1970, is a kind of philosophical parable, a timeless work, as Erofeev created his world, his universe in the book, at the center of which is man, "a man as a meeting place of all planes of being." First appearing in the pages of the magazine "Sobriety and Culture," the poem "Moscow-Petushki" became a real revelation for readers and was later translated into many languages of the world.
