Summary/Abstract: In the present paper, the peculiarities of G. Grebenshchikov’s American text are analyzed from a theoretical point of view and metaphor is considered as a cognitive mechanism. The authors’ metaphoric models serve as a key for understanding the writer’s intention and help to overcome the difficulties of perception of the writer’s text. The metaphors “America – Mechanism” and “America – Organism” are revealed and compared. Grebenshchikov’s conceptual blend “American Babylon” is reconstructed. The research was carried out on the basis of archive documents from the writer’s personal materials.
