DOI: 10.23951/1609-624X-2025-1-71-79
The concept of life, being the key to the national picture of the world and the creations of N. A. Zabolotsky, is reflected in the poet’s creations both of the early period, represented by the collection «Columns and Poems», and of the late period («Poems (1932-1958)»). The content and means of representation of the concept changed with the author’s different worldview, it seems relevant to identify the dynamics in the work of the famous poet. The goal of the article is to study the peculiarities of the representation of the concept of life in N.A. Zabolotsky’s lyrics based on the theory of regularity developed in the communicative style of the text. The article contains the results of the analysis of poems written in different years. Various methods of analysis was used in the research, including conceptual, biographical, comparative, which made it possible to identify regulatory means and ways of representing the key concept of life and reflecting in them the dynamics of his poetic picture of the world. In his early lyrics, N.A. Zabolotsky presents life as a series of carnival processions filled with animate objects; life is turned upside down. In his later creations, the poet’s perception of life changes. Being influenced of natural philosophy, the poet closely connects the life of nature and human life, which are endowed with reason, feelings and harmoniously complement each other.
