The football myth of Odessa in literature of the XX–XXI centuries}, volume={48}, url={https://bibliotekarzpodlaski.pl/index.php/bp/article/view/525}, DOI={10.36770/bp.525}, abstractNote={<p>The article is devoted to the function of the Odessa football myth in literature of the last century. Numerous texts by such Odessa authors as Olesha, Kataev, Utesov, Ilf and Petrov, Bagritsky, Kozachinsky, Zhvanetsky, Kartsev and others serve as material. Part of the Odessa football myth is the birth myth. In this case, the birth of the game – initially alien and incomprehensible to contemporaries. In the myth about the birth of football, the primacy of Odessa is repeatedly stated. The football myth is infused with the motif of freedom, which stands not only above sporting rivalry and social and political views, but even beyond time and space. </p>}, number={3}, journal={Bibliotekarz Podlaski}, author={Vasilyev, Eugene}, year={2020}, month={Nov.}, pages={179–206} }
