V. Vysotsky and the Time of New Media
Despite being precluded from publishing in print media, which was regarded at his time as the main or even the only pathway to broad recognition, Vysotsky's poetry became famous and popular. His rhymes and songs were disseminated on magnetic tapes. As a result, this collision between publication and distribution boosted the growth of more marginal media by giving them a competitive advantage over common and popular ones. What we also owe to Vysotzky is the fact that he prepared us for the adoption of new communication technologies.
