Blizzard text in the poetry of Karina Seydametova: existential love

The object of the study is the existential love, manifested in Russian artistic culture. The subject of scientific work is the figurative realization of the existential of love in modern poetry. The material for the article was the poetry of Karina Seydametova, namely her new poetic selection from the literary and socio-political almanac “Poetry Day - 21st Century”. At the center of the hermeneutic analysis are images of winter, blizzards in the poet’s poems: winter for Russian people is associated with an ontological search for “another kingdom”, the initiation path of a cultural hero, which is aimed at searching for a bride, sacred knowledge and love. The blizzard text in Russian artistic culture is inscribed in the text of fate and is associated with the philosophy of love and death. Parallels are drawn with the winter road cycle of A.S. Pushkin, in which the problem of love is resolved. The results of the study consist in identifying the cultural and philosophical potential of modern poetry for further study of the problem of the philosophy of love and death in Russian artistic culture and its national existence. The results of the work may be of interest to literary scholars who include literature in the space of a large dialogue of cultures, and can also be used in teaching courses in cultural studies and philosophy.
