Summary/Abstract: Topos of home is one of the main elements of the artistic picture of the national reality in the Belarusian poetry of the early 20th century. Increased interest in topos of home results from the revival of Belarusian history and culture. On the subject-shaped level topos of home is represented by a peasant house, on the semantic level – metonymically correlated with homeland. Topos of home is represented by the opposition home–anti home, a fellow countryman–a stranger, the living–the dead. In Belarusian poetry home represents moral and material values.
