Abstract
The article considers the representation of Pavlovsk as a sacral locus in the poetic work by L. Aronzon. The structural-semantic analysis of the poem “Pavlovsk” (1961) as the most representative text shows that the semantic register of the representation of the “pavlovsky” space testifies to its inextricable connection with the mortal-earthly and vital-cosmic visions of the poet. It is concluded that the lyric of L. Aronzon artistically checks the ontological compatibility of the earth’s microcosm and the “sidereal” macrocosm in the space-axiological realities of Pavlovsk as the sacral center of the simulated universe.
