Abstract

This study is the first to systematize and interpret journalistic responses to Robert Burns's work in the Soviet periodicals of the 1960-1970s. The article analyzes the article written by R. Tumanovsky and G. Feldman, “The Country of Burns” in №. 7 of the magazine entitled “In the world of books” for 1978, written based on Scottish and English publications, gives a detailed description of many memorable places related to the biography and poetry work of the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns. The authors of the article, focusing on the universal recognition of the talent of the folk songwriter, say, in full accordance with the Soviet idea of Burns, about the difficult path of the self-taught poet who came out of the people, but who earned truly worldwide fame as a fighter for freedom and equality of simple peasants and workers, not taking into account their national and cultural identity.
