Abstract
This article discusses the cycle of V.I. Ivanov's "Winter Sonnets", which the author wrote in a difficult time for him. From the first to the last (12th) sonnet, the lyric tries to preserve his soul. We examined the specifics of the poet's lyrics, the image of winter as a symbol of death and came to the conclusion that these sonnets represent a lyric cycle, since it has “author's contexts” (“graveyard of snowdrifts”, winter is a symbol of death, an orphan, a widow), a certain author's intention of combining poems, which is to show how the lyric hero overcomes difficulties, tries to save his soul when there is a blizzard, winter and snowdrifts around. All poems follow a certain order, showing the path of the lyric hero. The fifth sonnet stands out from this row, as it makes a reference to the past of the lyric hero. According to the typology of cyclical texts by M. Darwin, this cycle is connected, since it has a common title and has a certain sequence, which was set by the author himself.
