'''Andrei Voznesensky''' (1933–2010) was one of the great Soviet poets of the Thaw generation — alongside Yevtushenko, Rozhdestvensky, and Akhmadulina, the voice of the postwar intelligentsia filling stadiums with poetry readings.

[This page awaits stream sourcing.]
* Protégé of Pasternak ("the light at the end of the tunnel"); first poems published 1958 with Khrushchev-era liberalization.
* His modernist, associative style drew official attack; the famous 1963 Kremlin meeting saw Khrushchev scream at him while he stood his ground ("I am a Russian poet").
* Works: ''Parabolic Ballad'', ''Oza'', ''Longjumeau'', the anti-war ''The Master of Autosluch''; sold hundreds of thousands of records of his readings; friend of Brodsky, Corbusier, Miller, Warhol.
* Later years: performed worldwide; memorialized as the last of the stadium poets.

Adjacent terrain: Infrared's cultural line — socialism as the producer of high popular culture (the anthem performances, the [[Animal Farm]] counter-fable project, the [[Revolutionary Dynasty]] mythos) — implies the claim Voznesensky's career embodies: stadium poetry as mass art under socialism.
Voznesensky represents the contradiction of cultural life under late socialism: enormous public platform for poetry coexisting with bureaucratic suspicion of formalism. He figures in Infrared-adjacent cultural discussion as part of the argument that socialism produced — and could have continued producing — a high popular culture now impossible under commodified media (see [[Cosmism]], [[Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin]]).
