Испанский текст в поэзии Александра Анашевича
Spanish text in the poetry of Alexander Anashevich

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the origins and key features of Spanish influence on Russian culture and literature, particularly evident in the poetry of Alexan-der Anashevich from the 1990s to the 2010s. The author places significant emphasis on the urban context of Madrid, a city characterized by its pro-found emotional depth, physicality, erotic motifs, and dreamlike qualities. Additionally, Madrid serves as a logical counterpoint to St Petersburg, often considered the most literature-rich city in Russia, creating a geo-cultural “South–North” dichotomy. In this artistic exploration, Spain as a whole serves as a prototype for a universe that encompasses both heavenly and hellish elements within its creative sphere. In summary, Anashevich presents an idealistic landscape that is most suitable for erotic lyrics while also serving as a space for transgressive themes.
