THE IMAGE OF THE INVENTOR IN M. I. YUDALEVICH`S POEM «IVAN POLZUNOV»

Abstract

The article presents a study of one of the aspects of the Barnaul text of Russian literature: the image of a “cultural hero”, “genius loci”. The outstanding inventor Ivan Polzunova has been sufficiently studied from a historical and local history perspective, but he became the object of literary research for the first time. In the poem by M. I. Yudalevich, the image of Polzunov is created through the implementation of fairy-tale semantics embedded in the name “Ivan”, a vestimentary code, speech characteristics, intertextual echoes (Prometheus, M. Lomonosov, Lefty).
