Obraz Jaryły w wierszach Siergieja Gorodieckiego
Images of Jarilo in Sergey Gorodetsky’s poems

Summary/Abstract: This paper offers to divagate on the matter of mythopoeic view on Slavic god – Jarilo – in poems of Sergey Gorodetsky (from ”Ярь” tome(1905)). The etymology of ”Jarilo” name was analyzed. It symbolizes strength flowing from youth, severity, and even spring, of which arrival was celebrated in a special way, that required a particular time-space. Our task is to track, in what extend Russian poet uses Slavic folk traditions, and reflects them in his works, and to what extend he modifies traditional motifs. There is a reference i.e. to Vyacheslav Ivanov and Vladimir Toporov findings. We underlined the relations between celebration of Jarila holidays with Bakhtin’s concept of life carnivalesque.
