Abstract
The article shows that the mythologemes of Pushkin Myth manifest themselves in Sologub through the proper names of the Symbolist poet, those assonated with or corresponding to the names of the historical or mythical characters of the Golden Age of Russian culture. V. A. Sollogub’s attitude to A. S. Pushkin might have predetermined the stance of F. Sologub in his essay The Poets’ Demons that contains certain allusions to the Memoirs of the famous prose writer of the 19th century. The fact that the Symbolist poet (Fyodor Kuzmich) bears the same name as the legendary starets might account for the emergence of certain elements of Sologub’s fictional universe that are polemically directed against Pushkin.
