Abstract

The article analyzes the function of the emblematic system and in particular the allegorical figure of the God Mars in Russian panegyric literature. In Peter I‘s epoch this allegory was actively used to formalize the new Imperial ideology. In panegyric dramas the image of the God Mars served to personify the highest values of the Empire: the new warlike Russia, the most heroized sovereign, the Russian army.
