Many of Yevgeny Minin’s parodies are “on the verge of a foul”, just a little more - and the parody will turn into an epigram, a little more - the “fire” will erupt, and the poet, author of poems, why good, will be offended by a parody. But Minin, in my opinion, knows how to stop in time and stay “within the bounds of decency”. At the same time, without losing its signature spiciness. Nothing personal. Nothing extra. Parodies of Eugene Minin are brilliant in form and surprisingly similar to the creative manner of different poets. For this we love him.
