Evening , dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the poet, actor, author Vladimir Semenovich Vysotsky (1938-1980) was held at S. Toraighyrov Pavlodar State University. 

The event was organized by the club of researchers of historical personalities together with the club of books lover “Inspiration” of Pavlodar State University. 

As participants of the evening noted, V.Vysotsky is a person whose name entered the history of literature, theater, music and cinema. His repertoire includes more than six hundred songs and two hundred verses on different topics - military and humorous, romantic and gangster, fairy-tale songs and dialogue songs, which today do not lose their topicality.

His poetry so realistically reflected the reality that often the author was attributed many lyrical stories to his personal account. For all, Vladimir Vysotsky was “man of the people”: war participants, miners and archaeologists, chess players and climbers - saw him as a colleague, a close friend. Honesty and openness of the author brought him together with the readers. 

As chairman of the club of researchers of historical personalities Aslan Azerbayev noted, Vladimir Vysotsky was a poet who showed the undersides of the period of “developed socialism”. All that was not customary to talk about on radio and television, which the newspapers were silent about - was sounded by the poet “at the top of his voice”. 

“There were no forbidden subjects for the bard-Vysotsky. He spoke vividly about love and friendship, problems of alcoholism and the criminal world. Poetry and prose, the actor's and director's works of Vladimir Semenovich sincerely and accurately transfuse the period of “Brezhnev time”, - A. Azerbayev said.

As part of the event, the librarian of the general fiction sector, Elena Likhanova, prepared an exhibition of literature devoted to the life and creative activity of V.Vysotsky, as well as collections of his works.
