The aim of the article is to analyze the re-consideration of the traditional Russian culture image of Bronze Horseman in V. Sosnora’s poetry. The poem “The Bronze Horseman” is chosen as a material for the research. Methodology are based on the theory of style developed by Russian philological tradition (A. A. Potebnya, A. N. Veselovsky, A. F. Losev, V. V. Vinogradov, Yu. I. Mineralov, et al.) The results of the analysis showed that using familiar lineaments of the Brazen rider as the sculptural art and the artistic image (primarily the image used in Pushkin’s poem “The Bronze Horseman”) Sosnora makes a new internal form both of the image and the work of art. He accumulated artistic plots of his predecessors and rises actual issues of his days. The research implications of the article is that gets new vision on the correlation of the classical traditions and the neo-avant-garde literature of the middle of the XX century.
