Folklore tradition in V.V. Mayakovsky’s poem “The fifth international”. Pushkin’s code in poetics

Functioning of folklore and Pushkin’s traditions in poetics of V.Mayakovsky is considered. This problem has already been raised by literary critics, however folklore and Pushkin’s traditions were considered mainly from the point of view of “stylizations and borrowings”. An attempt of “connection” of these traditions and their consideration in context of the poem “The Fifth International” is undertaken. Parallels with poetics of charms, riddles, fairy tales are drawn. Great attention is given to a ritual ornament of the poem, internal forms of folklorism. The genetic nature of the images connected with “heavenly bodies” comes to light.
