The article examines the use of satire in the context of Roman philosophy and Vladimir Vysotsky's song poetry. It analyzes the specific features of imagery used to reveal the satirical element in the poet's poetic legacy. The article also explores the correlation between the reflection of satirical tropes in the translations of Vysotsky's works into English. As a result of the lexical-semantic and comparative analysis of the figurative means in some of Vysotsky's poems, the dominant features of hyperbole and irony were identified, which are not fully reflected in the translated equivalents due to the poet's use of colloquial speech elements.
