Abstract
This article is devoted to the linguistic and cultural means of creating the linguistic cultureme snake in Pavel Bazhov’s tales. The purpose of the research is to show how this traditional mythological and poetic zoonym functions in the writer’s works. The article reveals the origins of Bazhov’s appeal to the zoonymic image of snake and determines its role in the writer’s literary art. The meanings that this image carries both in the Russian national picture of the world and the writer’s perception are discussed in detail. A dual nature of a snake-man is demonstrated, including its role in the lives of Bazhov’s characters.
