«Люблю Россию я». Жанровая традиция изображения России в лирическом жанре инвективы

Abstract

The author considers a group of Russian poetic texts, aimed at political foes to Russia as a state. The author argues that these texts are samples of lyrical genre of invective, which is proved by their semantic structure and the objective of the text as a kind of poetic expression. The structure of the genre and its tradition imply specific image of Russia, which forms in all of the texts given, regardless of literary epoch and political beliefs of the poets-authors.
