Abstract

The article explores the image of the Homeland in the art world of Alexei Achair (1896–1960), a representative of the older generation of Far Eastern emigrants, the Russian secretary of the KHML, the head of the literary and artistic association Churaevka. His artistic world contains the connotations inherent in Russian emigration related to ideas about the Homeland as a great Empire in the past (Great Russia), the Homeland as a mythologized space of the territorially unified “Russian land” and the God of “Universal Russia”. The features of the ethnic picture in Achair’s world have identified a priority place in his poetic picture as the key image “Native Siberia” with the connotations associated with it.
