To date, the poetry of R.F. Kazakova has not been considered in terms of Christian vocabulary use frequency, appeals to God, as well as biblical images and quotations. From this point of view, the authors have analyzed the poetry, dating to various periods of her creative work: "Fridays" (1965), "To descend the Hill" (1984), "The Plot of Hope" (1991), "At Random" (1994), "Cross my mind" (2003). The authors believe the vocabulary of the verses to be noticeably changed after the poetess has accepted the sacrament of Baptism, as well as gained the icon of St. Rima placed at her Moscow apartment at the Chayanov Street. The authors claim the poetess to frequently use the lexeme "soul", turn to the Lord, and speculate on hell and heaven, as well as the Last Judgment. Kazakova is believed to understand the said notion from the Christian point of view, not materialistic one, being notably perceptible regarding her belated poetry. The authors declare in the poems written shortly before she passed away the poetess to worry about the fate of Orthodoxy in Russia, arguing the artist’s need to constantly spiritually lean on the Orthodoxy, which is traditional for the Russian culture. Hence, the authors believe it to testify to the fact R.F. Kazakova to become aware of the “predecessors historic memory” nowadays defined as the “Russian culture code”.
