The paper deals with the conception and depiction of the positive image of senility in A. Kuprin’s prose (works of 1890–1910 and of 1930s). The following functional features of the images of old people are analyzed: 1) the meaning of being old (old people as perceived by the young and the old); 2) the role in the storyline: loneliness and the attempts to overcome it, assistance (providing help / wise advice); philosophical thinking in an existential situation (death, emigration from Russia); as well as the devices of depicting senility (kinship / non-kinship, application of the scheme “an old man + achild + apet (dog / cat)”). It is concluded that the images of the old comply with the established Russian ideals: “diffuse communication” (K. Kasyanova), love for the Motherland, and due to this the ontological plane is revealed in these works.

Artykuł ukazuje sposób przedstawienia pozytywnego obrazu starości w prozie Aleksandra Kuprina i rozważa jego znaczenie (utwory z lat 1890–1910). Obrazy starców poddano analizie uwzględniającej semantyczne nacechowanie starości (podejście do starości przez ludzi młodych i starych); udział postaci w fabule: samotność i próby jej przezwyciężenia, okazywanie pomocy (od spraw codziennych do „mądrej rady”); filozoficzne rozważania o sytuacji egzystencjalnej (śmierć, emigracja); sposoby prezentacji starości (stosunki rodzinne i pozarodzinne, wykorzystanie schematu starzec + dziecko + zwierzę: pies lub kot). We wnioskach podkreślono, że obrazy starców w prozie Kuprina łączą się z modelem stałych wartości wyznawanych przez Rosjan. Dzięki wprowadzeniu do utworów postaci ludzi starych, problematyka wzbogacona zostaje o sens ontologiczny.

The report highlights the results of sociological studies devoted to the value system of the Russian society. Value priorities of Russians are considered in dynamics and in comparison with other European countries. In the light of empirical data various stereotypes and autostereotypes of national identity are critically analyzed, including the widespread myths about Russians’ special inclination towards collectivism and the lack of civil society in Russia. On the basis of data obtained by an original method of psychosemantic sounding the deep structures of the collective psyche together with the specific social representations of Russians and the “world view” that the majority of them share are analyzed. Considerable attention is also paid to the subject-matters of national pride, and to the peculiarities of Russian historical consciousness. On the basis empirical data collected by means of sociological research the question of Russia’s place in the system of relations of East – West is posed and discussed.
