To accomplish this objective, several tasks were undertaken: an extensive examination of V. Vysotsky's poetic legacy, a thorough analysis of the stylistic application of phraseological units in his poetry to effectively showcase the evolving character of phraseology, its receptiveness to diverse structural and semantic transformations, and to distinctly highlight the uniqueness of the poet's artistic style and his skillful manipulation of language.
