Vanshenkin’s poetic work is characterized by the topics of memories of the war, reflection on the duty of each person to his country and time, as well as the topic of beauty of native nature. Guryeva T. Vanshenkin Konstantin Yakovlevich [was born in a family of an engineer. He graduated from the Literary Institute.

Kolmanovsky - “I love you, the life of Vanshenkin most often writes about the post -war life in its everyday manifestations, about his army youth and about his peers, who died, protecting life, as well as about love, about women and children, about native nature; Moreover, all these topics appear in a variety of relationships, united by individual uniqueness of their lyrical perception.

The lyrics of Vanshenkin are very peculiar: there is no undivided dominance of subjective feelings, there is no lyrical egocentrism, it is very sensitive to the life of other people and their experiences, that is, to the epic world, as well as to the world of nature. Epic life is depicted not in large events, but in everyday episodes, not in monumental narrative works, but in short verse.

Even the life of death on the edge is described by him as something everyday, albeit forever memorable. In the poem “The Land of the Crimean Crimea, the lyrics of Vanshenkin is strictly realistic, it is close to the realistic lyrics of I. Bunin, M. Isakovsky, A. Twardowski and J. Bunin’s influence is most felt in the landscape lyrics of Vanshenkin, Isakovsky - in songs, Twardowski and Smelyakov - in the image of the current everyday life and in portrait sketches of contemporaries.

As a realist Vanshenkin is alien to everything irrational, mystical, demonic, exceptional; He seeks to capture only what has become revealed, affordable direct observation and perception, which was quite definitely formed and fixed in human psychology and the circumstances of everyday life. In his lyrics, the prosaic aspects of life are not sharply opposed to its poetic facets, life itself is its meaning.

The poet, of course, sees that the qualities of life are unequal, diverse and dialectically contradictory, but he does not dramatize them, does not break their visual connections, does not emphasize their contrast, but strives to first identify in them what unites them, makes them favorable to a person.

Even death is part of life, the key to its constant update. It is no accident that in the book of poems “Road Sign”, for example, where the poet constantly turns to the irrevocable losses of the military “cadets”, “ballad about the latter”, “hospital ballad”, “this is true”, “peers”, etc. The interaction of the theme of childhood with the theme of military losses compositionally connects this book of poems, emphasizing the dialectic unreasonableness of the past, present and future, life and death.

A considerable place in Vanshenkin’s lyrics is occupied by landscape poems. The whole natural cycle is presented here. In the poem "Listopades and Rains. In the poem “Naturally, the development of the fetus is a prominent place in Vanshenkin’s lyrics. In addition to the famous “I love you, the life of Kolmanovsky,“ Zhenya ”music by E. Zharkovsky,“ I hurry, excuse me ”the music of Y.

Frenkel and many others. A special share was at the song “Alyosha” by E. Kolmanovsky’s music: it became the anthem of the Bulgarian city of Plovdiv, where a monument was erected to the Russian soldier Alyosha, the liberator of Bulgaria from fascism. Of great interest are the articles and notes of Vanshenkin about poetry, his memories of senior comrades and mentors of Twardowski, Isakovsky, Smelyakov, Antokolsky, Martynov, Rylenkov, Bernes, etc.
