Shimonyak K. Ivan Irliavski's Lyrics in the context of the "Prague school" poetry.

In the thesis the author explains the specifics of Ivan Irliavskyi's text as an aesthetic reflection of the psyche of the Transcarpathian poet-fighter. The artist's lyrics requires analytic scrutiny from the standpoint of ethnic psychology, and artistic interpretation of the mythological and folklore sources, which are combined with the understanding of the existential ontological perspective.The achieved results (comprehension of the stylistic features, the key images of the artist's poetic world and their connection with the historical and literary context of the epoch) enable to determine the place of I. Irliavskyi in the Ukrainian literary process of writing at the times of interwar twenties.
