The article is devoted to studying the image of Crimea in modern Russian poetry. The aim of the research is to determine the specifics of the embodiment of the “Crimean text” using the material of the anthology “Crimean Pages of Russian Poetry” (1975-2015). The scientific novelty of the work is determined by the fact that it contains a monographic interpretation of the image of Crimea and considers the ways and techniques of its representation in Russian poetry in the second half of the 20th century. As a result, it was found that the image of Crimea in the poetry of the second half of the 20th century is created through the diverse invariants of the Crimean myth: the “Christian” myth, the “Eastern” myth, and the “Resort” myth. At the same time, poets do not so much use biblical images and motifs when creating the “Christian” myth, as they convey moral values and ideals of a religious worldview (works by K. Kedrin, M. Amelin). The “Eastern” myth is realized through the recreation of the Muslim past of the peninsula, the depiction of exotic views and unusual details (poetry by B. Chichibabin, T. Sinitsyna). The ambivalent image of Crimea as a place of relaxation and a cult of food for tourists, on the one hand, and outer space striving for eternity from the coastal bustle and vulgarity, on the other hand, is realized in the “Resort” myth (lyrical poetry by I. Evsa and N. Arishinа).
