Abstract. The research aims to identify sacralised zoomorphism in the creative work of the writer of the Russian Far Eastern diaspora N. A. Baykov (1872-1958). Scientific originality is connected with the study in his works of the spiritual and religious ideas of the population in the Russian Far East and Asia-Pacific countries about the lord of the taiga as a divine beast, which embodied the ancient Eastern legend of the Great Wang - the Mountain Spirit reigning over all nature. The paper is the first to pay attention to the sacred meanings of the mythopoetic images of the tiger and the dragon. The researcher analysed the spiritual connection between the two animals, the interaction and dualism of which have not been previously highlighted as conceptually significant in N. A. Baykov’s mythopoetic worldview. The research findings prove that the “tiger” and “dragon” mythologemes are closely related to the cycle of ritual actions, religious views, totemic cults, ranking of veneration, etc. This opens up new perspectives for the study of the oriental concept in the creative work of the Far Eastern émigré writer.
Key words and phrases: Н. А. Байков, литература русской дальневосточной эмиграции, образ тигра, образ дракона, N. A. Baykov, Russian Far Eastern émigré literature, image of the tiger, image of the dragon
