«Μετάνοια» ­ идея раннего Вячелава Иванова
"Repentance" idea of early life Vejchelava Ivanova

Summary/Abstract: The motif of metanoia as found in Vjacheslav Ivanov’s book Po Zvezdam, and concept underlying it are discussed in the article. I have attempted to emphasize a peculiarity of the motif structure of Ivanov’s collection of essays, namely the relative “independence” of motifs from the ideas they express. This peculiarity is well exemplified by the motif of metanoia. Derived from Nietzsche, assimilated, and signified by the Gospel term, the concept constituting the core of the motif is transformed gradually by Ivanov into its opposite. The article is a part of the dissertation currently being prepared.
