Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the problems of dramatic works by V. S. Rozov, reveals the underlying ideological, social and moral conflicts. The main one is the clash of youthful impulse to truth, human dignity and beauty and a false world of imaginary values, the interpreters and advocates of which are often people who are endowed with ranks, academic degrees, social status and professional right to influence the minds and tastes of the younger generation. The article characterizes literary characters, acting as carriers of various life ideas. It reveals the reasons for the writer’s ambiguous assessment of people of arts, education and science. The playwright’s position is revealed in the context of discussions about the social mission of the intelligentsia, its special responsibility and duties. Generation gap is viewed in the context of social processes characterized by the deformation of value priorities and affecting the mood of the youth. It is stated that the protest mood of the young generation is directly proportional to the measure of lies, evil and injustice that characterizes the state of mind and soul of adults. The conclusion is drawn that V. S. Rozov, as a researcher of the generational gap, continues and develops the traditions of Russian classical literature.
