The authoress proposes a symbolic and contextual interpretation of the theme of the Tree of Life as shown in Viacheslav Ivanov's works. The analysis pertains to a poem from 'Rimskii dnevnik 1944 goda' poetic cycle, beginning with the words: 'Nishodiat v dushu liki chuzhdykh sil ...'. On this poem the author based his examination of the problem of 'the dialogue of cultures', characteristic of the whole literary output of the poet. The above mentioned symbol becomes 'decoded', which reveals its polysemanticity, the initial layer, where Yggdrasill is discussed beside other layers referring to the biblical trees: the Tree of Life, the Tree of Knowledge, and the Tree of Christ's cross.
