Abstract
Part of the contemporaries treated Osip Mandelstam’s poetics either as an example of the archaic trend or as a unique, significant phenomenon but with no place in the immediate cultural landscape. One thing that contributed to a special perception of Mandelstam was the development of a posthumous myth of the poet. This myth is still relatively active in contemporary Russian poetry and can generate some most unexpected forms of reception. At the same time, certain parts of Mandelstam’s poetic universe remain very productive, as well as his poetics as a whole (that was canonized as quintessential for contemporary poetry). Many active poets view Mandelstam as a figure pivotal for recreating the world of contemporary poetry or even the whole culture.
