LTStraipsnyje pateikiami pirminiai poeto Alfonso Maldonio asmeninio archyvo tyrimo rezultatai. Daromos išvados, kad ankstyvieji poeto eilėraščiai, rašyti 5-ojo dešimtmečio pabaigoje-6-ojo pradžioje ir niekada nespausdinti, iš esmės skiriasi nuo pirmųjų jo poezijos rinkinių ir liudija savotišką poeto susidvejinimą, sąlygotą sprendimo dalyvauti oficialiajame literatūros gyvenime. Maždaug nuo 8-ojo dešimtmečio archyve atsiranda daug nebaigtų, fragmentiškų tekstų, bylojančių vis stiprėjančią karo, pokario įvykių Lietuvoje refleksiją, o paskutiniaisiais gyvenimo dešimtmečiais - elegiško nuovargio, nevilties miniatiūrų. Atidus žvilgsnis į Maldonio asmeninį archyvą - sovietmečio literatūros tyrinėjimo dalis.

ENAlfonsas Maldonis' (1929-2007) personal archives, are still waiting for a final systematization and cataloguing. [...] The article discusses archived unprinted and unpublished poems of Maldonis. The Maldonis archives contain some early poems written before publishing his first book in 1958. Nevertheless, the majority of poems date to the last decades of Maldonis' life. The archives witness the poet's moral self-analysis of living in a totalitarian society. As Maldonis joined public life in 1950s, he inevitably had to make compromises regarding his poetry. Certain ambivalence can be felt in published and unpublished poems. Whilst the first books include very positive lines written according to stringent Socio-Realistic canons, proudly describing collectivisation and other changes realized by socialization, the archives disclose a number of contemporaneous poems written in a sarcastic tone, portraying Soviet collectivization as unjust and unlawful. Most poems from the last decades of Maldonis' life focus on World War II and post-war Lithuania. In the first versions of poems, a detailed narrative is quite common. On the other hand, later versions apply minimalist techniques to achieve denouement. Contrary to traditional Lithuanian military-historical songs, Maldonis concentrates on the tragedy of human death rather than on glorifying the battle or heroic figures. Archives contain fragments of poems attempting to explain the life of Maldonis' generation. In such poems, Maldonis does not seek excuses for moral compromises; his poetic selfanalysis is ironic, nearly sarcastic. The Maldonis archives offer an important access to his work, providing a valuable insight for further studies of Soviet literature. [From the publication]
