From a distance of twenty years the author contemplates the short literary texts that accompanied the downfall of the totalitarian regime in Czechoslovakia in the year 1989. Slogans and inscriptions, hanged out by hundreds on the busy places of political protests, belong to the symbols shared in the process of social interaction and, at the same time, are distinguished by many aspects that classify them as folklore. The analysis of their unique character, historical importance and their possible use by other scientific disciplines is based in the collection of these communicates, preserved at the Institute of Ethnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague.

The aim of the article is a reconstruction of the image of the city and its inhabitants done on the basis of nearly seventy songs found in Łódź folklore texts from the interwar period. The regionality of folklore texts is shown in particularly strong way in the image of the city and its space. It is indicated by local names, authentic urban object names: cafes, restaurants and also by quite realistic image of the city. In the contrary, the picture of two main social classes of inhabitants – the factory workers and the outcasts of the society – is rather standardized, typical and generalized. If we compare the texts from Łódź to the texts from Warsaw, striking similarity will be easy to observe. The resemblance is obvious in the naming (personal names), the language used by the social classes, and in the way of evaluating the social attitude – particularly in relation to the criminal world.

This text is an attempt to acquaint the reader with the writer’s biography of Oleg Grigoryev, a Russian poet and a representative of “the literary underground”. His works can be classified as urban folklore. Most of his poems are full of harsh irony, which may shock with its dark humour. Grigoryev often resorts to the poetics of the absurd, which may lead a keen reader to the conclusion that he is close to the creative actions of the poetic group of the Oberiuty with Daniil Kharms and Alexander Vvedenski as their main representatives. In this light, Grigoryev’s poetry can be interpreted as a reflection of the dark Soviet reality in which he lived and with which he struggled. Such an attitude surely did not help him in succeeding within the official Russian literature.
