The literary critic Denis Lipatov, speaking about the Cherry Site book ^[7], remarks that Ostudin “has no time or interest in dealing with himself, with his reflections and metaphysical experience, but is primarily interested in the world around him: he seems to be in a hurry to rename him, to give new names to everything, thereby rethinking and seeing in a new way a long time familiar and familiar, put on the world map its coordinate system. This is a poet-naturalist. "

The publicist Sergei Arutyunov writes: “Alexei’s metaphor is rubbed with samovar rye, often buffoon, has roots of Vladimir Semenovich V-tskoy, clicks buratin with a roar of sayings (way of life in the morning:“ Vomiting, rise! ”) - so as not to overwhelm with overwhelming tragedy of being ” ^[8] .

Ukrainian poet Igor Kruchik: “Alexey does not let himself and us forget that the main occupation of the poet is to turn the language inside out, throw it to the reader like a glove, and expand the possibilities of what was said. Poetry is the quintessence of the expressed, and even inexpressible ” ^[9] .

Literary critic Pavel Basinsky notes that “there is almost no gap between Ostudin’s verses and himself. Rather, he is exactly as much as a person who begins to compose something in rhyme for himself, at once begins to be different from all other mortals ” ^[10] .
