The article is an attempt to explore the vision of Russian history in Alexander Pushkin’s The Bronze Horseman. The key role in the poem is played by the figure of Peter I, who is shown as a despot on the one hand, and a bold visionary on the other. In The Bronze Horseman, Pushkin presents a suggestive image of the flood in St. Petersburg, referring to such problems as the clash between an ordinary man and history or the essence of rebellions and revolutions. Deciphering the meaning of individual motifs allows us to perceive Pushkin’s coherent and multidimensional historiosophical vision. The main conclusion of the article is the statement that Russian imperialism in The Bronze Horseman is shown as an organic element of Russianness, without which Russia could not have formed as a strong and modern state. Moreover, the poem can invariably be seen as a key to understanding the essence and vitality of Russian imperialism.

The article analyzes two Petersburg texts by A.S. Pushkin: The Bronze Horseman: A Petersburg Tale and Queen of Spades. The author states that The Bronze Horseman is based on the dichotomy of the original spontaneous water principle as opposed to the city’s static fundamentals. The horizontal water element lacks a privileged and superior, authoritative position. On the contrary, the city is dominated by the privileged position of the creator, who controls the city’s hierarchy. This situation is also reflected in the text of the Queen of Spades, in which the author, Pushkin, loses the superior position and leaves the semantic initiative to free formation of meanings, which could be perceived as an ironic opposition to the author’s intention. The theme of the cards, the principle of the play, the narrative of “pereskaz”, the dualism of the Petersburg scene and the constant position of the hero “ashore” bring spontaneity to the text structure and become a source of the free formation of meanings.
