Abstract:

The article explores the existing approaches to modern rendering of the epic poem The Tale of Igor’s Campaign (Slovo o polku Igoreve), misinterpretations of the original text in translations, and requirements to be met in modern rendering of the epic poem intended for the rising generation in view of modern socio-political realities. The author presents his poem The Kayala as a version of such modern rendering.
