Abstract

The article offers a new outlook on the problem of the emergence of poetic systems of V. V. Nabokov, K. K. Vaginov and A. P. Platonov, with each of them gaining notoriety as a prose writer, yet beginning his career as a poet. Correlation analysis that takes into account a number of the parameters of their verses shows that all the three authors chose an unambiguously «marginal» position as their strategy, but differed from each other considerably in the tactics of shaping their poetic systems.
