THE MYTH OF HARBIN IN THE POETRY OF RUSSIAN FAR EASTERN EMIGRATION of THE 1920S-1940S
The article is devoted to the Harbin myth as a cultural text in the poetry of the far Eastern Russian emigration of the 1920s-1940s. The works of such little-studied poets like A. Nesmelov (I. A. Mitropolsky), N. Svetlov (N. Svin'in), A. Barcau, A. Achair (Grysov), V. Pereleshin and others is considered. In the process of the analysis the role of the St. Petersburg myth as a meta-text in the views of emigrants about Russian Harbin is indicated. The author considers the oppositions "own-alien ", “the past-the present", "culture - nature", "eternal - doomed", on the basis of which the emigrant myth is formed. It is shown that the mythologeme of “the return of the past” is the semantic core of the Harbin myth.
