Abstract: The object of the article is the poetry of Nikolai Stepanovich Gumilev, in particular his triptych "Soul and Body". This cycle is considered to reflect in it theological views on spiritual and bodily principles. The article analyzes N. Gumilev's artistic vision of the relationship between soul and body, reflected in the triptych of the same name. Dichotomy considers human nature as a two-part unity of soul and body, while trichotomy looks at man as a trinity of spirit-soul-body. That's why this triptych is amazing, because the name refers to a dichotomous understanding, and the very construction of the cycle and the internal problems prove that the author's perception of human essence was close to a trichotomy. At the same time, in this article I would like to emphasize the fact that dichotomous and trichotomous views on human nature do not contradict each other.   The following methods were used in the work: comparative – historical, system – typological and cultural – historical. Contextual and intertextual analyses of the triptych were performed. The scientific novelty of the article is very high, since the analysis of the works of the authors of the Silver Age at the junction of philological science and theology is carried out quite rarely. In this work, it was important to reflect the fact that Nikolai Stepanovich Gumilev was a Christian in fact, his worldview did not contradict the teachings of the Orthodox Church in any way. It is also known that the poets of the Silver Age in many of their works relied on medieval works, and during the Middle Ages the dialogue of soul and body was especially widespread. A detailed analysis of the triptych "Soul and Body" is made, the author's views on the problems of the correlation of material and spiritual principles are considered. It is proved that the poet interpreted the nature of human essence in accordance with the trichotomous concept of the fathers of the Orthodox Church.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the semantic complex 'travel' in Mikhail Kuzmin's novels. The semantic complex of travel in Kuzmin's novels reflects the acmeism orientation at 'craving for world culture', however, it is more likely a trigger for the search of a creative code engraved in in the global literary process. Within the framework of the research, the semantic complex means, firstly, a genre structure and secondly, a combination of motives that play different roles in a literary work. Kuzmin's prose presents a semantic complex 'travel' both at the level of the genre structure of the novel and the level of motive organisation. To analyze the complex of motives and genre structures, the researcher used the complex approach which included intertextual analysis and biographical commentary. The analysis carried out b the author has allowed to discover and describe peculiarities of the genre and motive of travel in Kuzmin's prose. In his novel 'Wings' the image of travel is represented at the motivational level and relates to the idea of the personal growth of the hero. Travel is also a structure-forming genre in his novels' Deeds of Alexander the Great' and 'Wonderful Life of Joseph Balsamo, Cagliostro Earl'. The life path of these heroes can be conditionally divided into two parts, the 'upward' path towards glory and 'downward' path towards death.
