New about Klym Polishchuk

I continue to publish the work "Klym Polishchuk – the poet of despair" (2023). Today – the section "Wasted talent."

"Symbolism" had a very clear and very negative impact on K. Polishchuk’s work. It seems to me that this was not a natural manner for him, but only an attempt at chameleonism, masquerading as the general public.

I continue to publish the work "Klym Polishchuk – the poet of despair" (2023). Today – the section "Soviet and Decline."
