Abstract

This article dwells on the tragic plane of content of the Severodvinsk poetic text. This text formation is a subtext of the Northern regional text of Russian literature (supertext). Active development of the Severodvinsk text started in the early 1990s due to the new generation of poets (I. Pavlov, E. Fedorenko, A. Prudnikova, A. Sazonov, T. Shcherbinina, A. Ments and others). It was in their works that the tragic manifestation of the Severodvinsk locus became especially vivid. They opposed the heroic, constructive and romantic motifs of official poems about the city. To a large extent, these tragic notes of the Severodvinsk text are determined by the fact that one of the labour camps was located on the territory of the city in the early years of its history. The following contributes to the uniform semantic space of the Severodvinsk text as a subtext of the Northern text: inner intertextual relationships, common repertoire of motifs and images (path, search, death, closed space, loneliness; sea, river, shore, home, swamp, cemetery, nuclear waste repository, zone, wind, night, black birds, etc.); invariant plot (the protagonist travels in the physical and metaphysical space of the locus in search for answers to eternal existential questions and salvation); type of protagonist (spiritual wanderer). As a result of historical analogy and semantic transgression, the Severodvinsk text develops thetic and eschatological meanings of a city’s foundation and downfall that are attributed to the Petersburg text. These meanings are expressed through various citations and reminiscences. The fundamental manifestations of the Severodvinsk text are poems by I. Pavlov, A. Prudnikova and T. Shcherbinina with the same title: “The Closed City”. In the subtext under study, an important part is played by parallelism in the images of Peter I and Stalin, although their names are often tabooed. Particularly poignant are the motifs of foreboding of death and tragic fate in the poems by such untimely deceased authors as I. Pavlov, A. Sazonov, E. Fedorenko, A. Ments and others. The mythopoetic and mythologized space of the Severodvinsk text is permeated with both positive and negative meanings.
