WHO WAS THE ADDRESSEE OF A. A. BLOK’S POEM TO A SPANISH LADY?

The article discusses the addressee of A. A. Blok’ poem, arguing against the suggestion that it is addressed to Kazarose (B. G. Shensheva), a «small genre» actress. The analysis of the documentary and biographical data, and of the historical and cultural context (in particular, of the «Spanish theme» in the repertoire of the Terioki Entreprise), suggests an alternative version: the implicit addressee of the poem is L. D. Blok. The text itself is considered as a «heraldic construction» («mise en abyme» technique), with a reference to Vs. Meyerhold’s pantomime The Lovers as the decoder of the communicative situation.

Keywords
