Summary/Abstract: This article offers an analysis of the linguopoetic code of the toponym Warsaw, which represents a “foreign” culture in Ukrainian discourse of the 18th–21st centuries. The modelling of such a code is primarily focused on the historical-event plane. The author states that this is due to Poland’s territorial proximity and the political significance of Poland for Ukraine, together with the common past of both countries. The writers focus on updating extra lingual information related to military issues. It is productive to assign an analyzed proper name the features of the choronym with the simultaneous actualization of such meanings as “imperialism”, “slavery” or “Europeanness”; the use of onymous interaction (toponymic-toponymic, toponymic-anthroponymic). The meaning of “capital” is expressed by the contextual lexemes statehood, state, and oikonymic-choronymic pair Warsaw – Rzeczpospolita . The toponym Warsaw also acts as a marker of “foreign” space in the corresponding binary opposition, while the “own” space becomes, contrary to expectations, not the correlative oikonym Kyiv but the choronym Ukraine . The background potential of the oikonym related to the semantics of the capital, the topos of the city, is limited. Due to the establishment of toponymic-theonymic correlation, there is a poetic sacralization of the analyzed onym. The information field of the toponym Warsaw has, in general, an asymmetric manifestation in Ukrainian poetic discourse. This is with the dominance of the historical and the visibility of the socio-cultural segment
