Abstract

Poetry of N.A. Klyuev has a special system of images and a deep religious sense. The origins of Klyuev’s poetic world are closely connected with culture and tradition of Old Believers, and with culture of Ancient Russia in general. Klyuev knew well and highly valued ancient Russian icons, his poems contain a lot of information about the meaning and existence of icons in the life of the people; historical memories and realities are also perceived and consecrated by the poet through the prism of the icons. In this article we will try to give some information about Old Believer icons in the life and work of the poet, compare the figurative world of the poet’s work with the iconographic and theme features of Old Believer icons, analyze the possible connections of the poet’s poetic worldview, his religious and historiosophical ideas with the tradition of Old Believer icons.
