Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the religious intentions of the Russian poetic underground during the period of its formation (1950–1960th). Basing on the characteristic of the clandestine art activities (“Aref’evtsy”) and literary groups (“Mansarda”) as well as their individual members (R. Mandel’shtam, L. Chertkov, N. Shatrov, S. Krasovickij, E. Kropivnickij, I. Holin, G. Sapgir) the author comes to the conclusion that the forming underground was not notedly interested either in religion itself or Christianity and Orthodoxy in particular. The address to the biblical themes, motives, and images was determined or by the intention to restore the cultural and esthetic paradigm formed in the Silver Age, or it just became the means of contemporaries’ outrageous behavior. It also demonstrated the disregard of the ideological bans and gave the bohemian impression of the word freestyle.
