Abstract:
This article is an attempt to compare categories of space and place in the poetry of Ivan Bunin and Vladislav Khodasevich. In each of the developers has gained a different inter-pretation. Bunin idealizes homelessness, travelling is a vital necessity for him. Poet treats the house as insulation from the outside world, forced the closure. Khodasevich shows the house in terms of positive, sees in it asylum and refuge from the dangers of the outside world. Different perceptions of home in both poets, reflects the diversity of Silver Age lit-erature, which coexisted exclusive visions of the world. The interpretation of both categories has changed as a result of exile. Bunin rejects the motif of travel and creates pictures of house as lost paradise. Khodasevich exchanges prior semantics of house and shows its axiological degradation in contemporary world.
