In 2014, a book of Chigrin's lyrics “Teamster” was published in Ukrainian translation. Translator: Ihor Pavlyuk.
Evgeny Rein noted that “Chigrin is a poet who appeared when “the paths of the avant-garde, realism, and modernity were over, from which it naturally follows that the poet does not follow any of them”.[5] Andrei Bitov once expressed a similar idea.[5] Pavel Basinsky considers Chigrin "one of the most brilliant modern poets".[6]
In 2023, it became known that Chigrin had prostate cancer.[7]
