In the article, on the example of the poems of Lia Sturuas and Besik Kharanauli, we consider the poetic texts of the 70s and 80s of the 20th century as lyrical works created against violence; We will talk about why poetry "dares" to oppose the violence caused by totalitarianism and why it has this role in relation to American poetry, where poems should play the role of a mirror, to see the sens of this century, what is called – violence/femicide, racism, loss of humanity.
In the both culture the transcendental lyrical subject becomes an emblem of the individual's resistance to society.
