Abstract. The aim of the research is to identify the peculiarities of the artistic image of Great Britain based on the original and self-translation of G. D. Grebenshchikov’s essay “Westminster Bells”. The paper discusses the creation of the country’s image through the use of a complex chronotope, imitation of documentary style and references to classical British literature. Additionally, the images of the ruler and the people are interconnected through the portrayal of Westminster Abbey bells and radio. The scientific novelty of the research lies in introducing into scientific use the study material, as the self-translation has not been published by the author and the Russian version of the essay has not been reprinted since its publication in the newspaper “Novaya Zarya” and is not included in the “Collected Works”. As a result, it has been found that the components of the empire’s image for G. D. Grebenshchikov consist of the classical “orthodoxy – autocracy – nationality” imperial triad, which is realised both in the original and the self-translation of the work.
