О диалогичности поэтических текстов

Abstract

Three poems with the same title „ The Scytians" by different authors are being analysed in this article. These authors are - Alexander Blok, who wrote this poem in January 1918, Albinas Bernotas, this poem is in his collection „The Ruts" (1981), and Vytautas Bloze, this poeme is in his collection of poems „In the old manor" (1994). The themes of history, relations between different nations, their sun'ival and extinction and other moments are being reflecting in all the three texts. The connection of the past to the present, the relationship between Russia and West European countries in the end of World War I were relevant to Alexander Blok. In Albinas Bernotas' poem history is being presented as the space for war, fighting and death, in which the Scythians were only the elemento f history. Vytautas Bloze portrays the Scythians as the invaders from the East, having destroyed his parents' house. Between Lithuanians and Russians there has always been great cultural and political tension. This determines different approach to the understanding of a barbaran and barbarism.
