У статті розглянуто роль та значення творчості В. Свідзінського у формуванні культурницького коду українського шістдесятництва. Досліджено впливи художньої свідомості поета на становлення мистецької самоідентифікації творчих особистостей, ідеться про увиразнення індивідуального стилю, кристалізацію незалежної життєвої позиції представників покоління на тлі ідеологічних процесів доби. Проблеми вивчення наукової біографії митця, характеристика його поетичної творчості проілюстровані в літературознавчих студіях В. Коротича, І. Дзюби, В. Стуса, В. Шевчука. Для шістдесятників поетичний доробок Свідзінського виявився взірцем щодо розуміння свободи творчості, духовної суверенності особистості, самототожності.
The paper evaluates the role and significance of V. Svidzinskyi’s creative work in forming the cultural code of the Ukrainian ‘Sixtiers’ movement. The researcher tries to show how Svidzinskyi’s artistic consciousness influenced the process of forming creative self-identification of new authors, marked their individual style and helped to strengthen the independent life position of the generation representatives against the background of the epoch’s ideological processes. The issues of the artist’s biography and characteristics of his poetic activity became the subject of the literary studies by V. Korotych, I. Dziuba, V. Stus, V. Shevchuk. For the writers of the 1960s Svidzinskyi’s creative activity turned out to be a sample of understanding creative freedom, inner sovereignty of personality and self-identity. The author attracted young writers with his low-sounding but at the same time particularly expressive modern poetry, with free feelings and clarity of poetic thinking, with authenticity of the reflected existence. The attention was also drawn by the invariability of V. Svidzinskyi’s personality, as he was absolutely unfi t for adjusting himself to the swift changes of the epoch and steadily cultivated his non-conformism that became the reason of his tragic death and unjust falling into oblivion. However the writers of the 1960s were influenced by Svidzinskyi’s creative work to the great extent, when they formed and established their own manner of writing. Under the conditions of total offensive against human personality some of them refer to Svidzinskyi’s heritage where they fi nd inner resources for resisting the cruel reality. It may be assumed that the fi rst impressions from the poetry were caused by aesthetic factors, the further ones – by the power of the author’s inner resistance to Stalin’s epoch. The Sixtiers found Svidzinskyi’s poetry phenomenal due to his metaphoric associative thinking, his emphatic and unique perception of world, deep emotional sphere of his inner self-expression and self-contemplation, his exceptional sense of implicit freedom.
