Citations
- «A poet is a surreal entity who attempts at achieving indescribable results with means unknown to himself»[3] — Oleg Haslavsky, 2009.
- «Living in a multi-language environment (not taking into account variations of one’s own native language) denunciates consciousness to literary existence, to a literary title, even when no single line has been written. Oleg Haslavsky is a literature figure with the initial advantage, I would even say a littérateur by default. A writing litterateur. I consciously use this definition, ‘littérateur’, though essentially one would need to talk about Haslavsky as a poet, a prose-writer, a translator (a fortiori since Oleg often works with literature pieces previously translated by very big names), and perhaps also as personality, and all of those may be referred to separately by using superlatives. But I say ‘littérateur’ referring to such an exact realisation, nowadays being so rare, of the means of consciousness existence in the language. And I would emphasize it: in the language»[6] — Igor Burenin, 1989.
