poem

In this article an attempt is made to include the poem «Bus» by M. Tsvetayeva (1934–1936) in the large but poorly investigated subject – the concept of nature in the creative work of a poet. Tsvetayeva’s romantic ideas of nature as harmonious, perfect, ideal world situated beyond socio-political circumstances, form the poet’s deep philosophy of life and become part of her notions of ethics and aesthetics.

The article discusses the literary fate of M. A. Tarlovsky, his place in the Russian poetry, as well as some peculiarities of his perception of the characters of the comedy «Auditor».

The article deals with the image of G.R. Derzhavin and the reminiscences from his works being researched in the songs, poems and books of recollections by the singer poet of the second half of the XXth century A. Gorodnitsky: the means and functions of their application, their relation to the pressing issues of today and to the images of the contemporary authors.
