The theme of the person and the nature in the modern lyric poetry of Mordovia is considered. The paper examines the basic laws of development of this theme in creativity of V.Gadaev, one of the modern poets of Mordovia. It is proved that in early creativity the hero of V.Gadaevs poetry is only the detached onlooker of the phenomena occurring in the kingdom of the nature. In the course of time the poet puts him in the center of the nature. The person, in the poets opinion, is capable to create the nature, dependent on his will and reason. Thus, the paper provides the art-esthetic concept related to the solution by the poet of a question on a place of the person in the kingdom of the nature and on a role of the nature in human life.
