For years he has been existing in a very narrow cultural circulation,<br />however, recently the creators of popular music have reminded the society of this persona.<br />Numerous versions of Paramonow’s history - regardless of the differences resulting from<br />the immanent aesthetics of the music groups and media – present the “unity of imagination”<br />which was the main source both for the anonymous ballad and its aestheticized version.<br />The most important include:<br />- anchoring the fictional pattern in songs of city news;<br />- aesthetics of violence typical for the fair music;<br />- creation of the main character in a similar manner as in the stories about brigands.<br />At the same time, embedding these cultural texts in the tradition of anonymous creations<br />of the past centuries impresses the durability of some specific ideas. Theoretically, they are<br />updated and adjusted to the changing social context of the audience, however, their essence<br />and function in literary communication remains unchanged.}, number={2}, journal={Literatura Ludowa.
