- Annotation: This article examines the system of floral images in the lyric poetry of Yuri Kublanovsky, their semantics, symbolism, functionality, and the factors shaping his floral code. Through an analysis of floral images, an attempt is made to identify the characteristics of the national image of the world reflected in his poetry. It is shown that the national landscape in the work of Yuri Kublanovsky is presented devoid of idealization with plants, while they retain their referential meaning (concreteness), simultaneously serving as signs of lyrical states. The poet imbues floral images with symbolic meanings traditional to Russian poetry and new, individual meanings. He also frequently uses popular, rather than botanical, plant names, thereby enriching their symbolism with new associations. Flora images reveal the poet’s religious and philosophical quest and the confessional nature of his lyrical confessions. Preserving the memory of the biblical, historical, or personal past becomes a means of self-definition and relationship to the world.
- Keywords: Yuri Kublanovsky, Russian poetry, floral image, symbolism, religious-philosophical quest, lyrical feeling, national floral code.
