Summary/Abstract: In 1977 in Paris, the literary almanac «Аполлон-77» was published, the editor of which was a Russian painter and sculptor Mikhail Shemiakin. Among many works of writers banned in Soviet Russia, there were 20 poems of the “classic of Leningrad nonconformity” — Vladlen Gavrilchik (1929–2017). This article is an attempt to analyze them. Gavrilchik’s poems published in the Parisian almanac show his journey through the avant-garde literary tradition. Moreover, they prove that the artist pro- fusely draws from children’s folklore, skilfully uses flaws, irony and parody, evoking the laughter of his readers.
