Summary/Abstract: The vocabulary of wall poetry, socio-political graffiti, call inscriptions "painted" on different surfaces have not been the subject of philological research yet. This article is only a modest attempt to determine the notion of poetic graffiti in the context of the necessity to "say something important" and that of the kitsch’s. The complex nature of wall poetry requires a careful and high assessment of the imaginary potential of the formulae- slogans fixed on coarse and banal spaces.
