Abstract. The article shows how N. Klyuev’s lyrical poetry correlates with Slavic mythological consciousness manifesting itself in the form of animalism, anthropomorphism, totemism, fetishism. The paper aims to reveal poet’s mythological conceptions by the example of cosmogonic images (Sun, Sky, Earth, Fire, Time, World Tree species, Peasant Hut). Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that N. Klyuev’s creative work has not been previously investigated in this aspect. The conducted research allows concluding that N. Klyuev’s poetry is characterized by folklore-mythological images and motives. His poetical works represent ancient Slavic religious-mythological consciousness, archaic thinking.
Key words and phrases: космогония, мифологическое сознание, онтологические образы, Н. Клюев, новокрестьянская поэзия, cosmogony, mythological consciousness, ontological images, N. Klyuev, neo-peasant poetry
