‘Many years to the invincible’: The axiological meanings of the spatial and temporal images in Boris Pasternak’s poem <i>‘Neoglyadnost’</i>/’Spanlessness’
This article is an attempt to expose and analyse the chronotopical structure of Boris Pasternak's poem ‘Neogliadnost’/’Spanlessness’, written in 1944. The axiological meaning of spatiotemporal images in the poet's Weltanschauung is evaluated within a broader context of Russian language and culture. It is argued that the poem’s key value-laden motif, victory, is introduced in the text in three temporal domains. Two of them - the planes of the historical past and present - belong to the sphere of time. They are intrinsically linked by their reference to the metaphysical realm of eternity.
