The problem of modern poetic rendering and editing of “The Tale of Igor's Campaign”

Abstract. The article is dedicated to the existing approaches to modern poetic rendering of the epic poem “The Tale of Igor's Campaign” (Slovo o polku Igoreve), misinterpretations of the original text in poetic 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 named “The Kayala” as a version of such modern rendering.
