THOUGHT, WORD AND IMAGE IN V. KHLEBNIKOV’S AVANT-GARDE PROSE (‘I WAS WALKING THE YELLOW ROADS AGAIN’)

Abstract

The paper analyzes the features of transforming the Biblical story and the folklore of the small peoples of the Far East in a case study of an analysis of Khlebnikov’s prosaic work called ‘The Story of Firebird’ in the context of the author’s moral, ethical, religious and philosophical views on a person at the age of wars and revolutions who wishes to find his place in history. The paper dwells upon the story’s antiwar pathos and traces the particular representation of reality on the characters and the tragic fate of the people. Also, the paper reveals the eschatological motifs that Khlebnikov uses to define the apocalyptic mood of the people of his time.
