Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the creation of the hierotopy of modern warring Donbass in the poem by Elena Zaslavskaja “Novorossia of Thunderstorms. Novorossia of Dreams” (2020). The article shows how the archetypes of cultural memory are actualized under the wartime circumstances and in the situation of extreme existential choice. One of the most ancient cultural archetypes of Russian culture is the image of Russia as a sacred space, which synthesizes the archaic image of the holy kingdom and Christian ideas of holiness as the feat of self-sacrifice. The author analyzes the mechanisms of creation in the poem of the image of Lugansk-Svyatograd included in the sacred Christian space due to the self-sacrifice of its inhabitants during the war with the Ukraine since 2014.
