This article discusses the poetics of appropriation of historical and literary material as a way of the reevaluation of the past proposed by M. Tsvetaeva. In the poet’s consciousness, the coexistence and comparison of different times and historical parallels are inevitably linked to her presence and, at the same time, the material employed by Tsvetaeva does not only show any reality, but it recreates reality according to her own vision of this particular material. Tsvetaeva accentuates the primacy of created reality over historical existence. One part of Tsvetaeva’s play Fortuna presents the transformation of the real love story between Izabela Chartoryska and duke Lauzan into a literary history, and finally the process of the disappearance of this story in her real life. ‘Disappearance’ of Lauzan’s image leads the poet in her life and Tsvetaeva becomes engaged with Lauzan by a very idiomatic relationship.
