Keywords: Tsvetaeva; emigrant literature; nostalgia; baroque-romantic style

Summary/Abstract: Tsvetaeva spent seventeen years in exile and could not avoid the topic of nostal¬gia. However, her solution of the theme is polemical against the dominant tendencies in emigrant literature. Instead of aspiration to return to a concrete place, to the unchangeable organization of life (prerevolutionary Russia), she forges baroque-romantic type of nostal¬gia as a desire for eternal movement following a mobile target (after Charles Baudelaire).
