„Футбол – Это Больше Чем Играˮ. Одесский Футбольный Миф В Литературе ХХ – ХХI Веков

Abstract

The article is devoted to the functioning of the Odessa football myth in the literature of the last century. Numerous texts by such Odessa authors as Olesha, Kataev, Utesov, Ilf and Petrov, Bagritsky, Kozachinsky, Zhvanetsky, Kartsev and others serve as the material. Part of the Odessa football myth is the birth myth. In this case, this is the birth of the game – initially alien and incomprehensible to contemporaries. In the myth of the birth of football, it is repeatedly stated about the primacy of Odessa.. The football myth is infused with the motive of freedom, which stands not only above sporting rivalry and social and political views, but even beyond time and space.
