Annotation

Mythical-poetic context of the image of tree in the Russian prose literature of the 1970s—1980s (‘Farewell to Matera' by V. Rasputin, ‘The Tsar-fish’ by V Astafyev, ‘The Echo’ by Yu. Sbitnev, ‘Father-forest' by A. Kim) is considered in the article, tree being seen as a sacral center of the world, animalistic plant, totemic image. The echoes of the ancient worship of trees reveal themselves sometimes in fragments, but sometimes make a foundation of the integral philosophic conception of the authors.
