Our pragmatic century - is not the best time for those who is named Encyclopaedists. To survive, the majority of the people should work there, where it is profitable. The time does suffice neither for self-education, nor for development of any others, abilities, not concerning professional duties.

   However and today near to us live people which with an equal degree of talent show themselves in different, sometimes and completely polar, hypostasis. It would seem how it is possible to combine the dull laws of the mechanics with quivering service to muses? It appears, probably, and it with success proves ours compatriot - teacher, engineer and poet Vladimir Lyakhovetsky. In front of us is collection, still smelling with typographical paint, of his verses "Golden autumn of the life". Pastel-nostalgic palette of jacket in some way emphasizes the name, which the author has given to the next brainchild. The bright violence of autumn paints anticipates also that impression, which remains after acquaintance to creation of the poet. All products of Lyakhovetsky are penetrated soft, light melancholy on left and powerful charge of optimism, reflections about significant marks of a history and firm reliance of the best future.

   Vladimir Lyakhovetsky not graphomaniac, he writes not for the sake of the process of filling of a pure sheet of a paper by transfer nothing meaning for environmental trivialities and squabbles of life. As well as many representatives of the generation which has survived most terrible in a history of mankind war, remembering enthusiasm of post-war "everyday lives great construction", he has what to tell and to those one who lives today, and those who only will enter on not always soft track of life. Behind shoulders of Vladimir Lyakhovetsky is rich and uneasy past, and the poet is generously divided with the reader by the reflections about traversed path, significant stages experienced, meditations about future. He does not bring down on us the importunate notations, not bother with moral - ethical edifications. Vladimir Lyakhovetsky and to itself concerns in many episodes from some share of irony, and anywhere in his verses is not present bravado of the convinced prophet, pontificating about infallibility of the principles and sights.

   The subject of creation of the poet is wide enough and various. Here and memoirs on the small native land, Odessa, and boundless steppes Kostanayshina, ground, becoming his second native land. The large attention Vladimir Lyakhovetsky pays to problems "yesterday, today and tomorrow". Have not remained in the party and especially personal experiences. Love, in opinion of the author, is not the simply intimate relations between the man and woman, this great feeling inspiring the people on most noble acts.

   Sincere heat and kindness, readiness to inform most secret in combination to sincerity, non-recognition of any displays of callousness and indifference - basic motives of poetry of Vladimir Lyakhovetsky, reader of Kostanay State University named after Akhmet Baytursynov.
