    Abstract

    I.Brodsky’s poem "December in Florence" reproduces not only the content but also the structure of Dante's Hell, its nine stanzas correspond to the nine circles of hell, Florence includes all nine circles, but the title of the poem underlines its correspondence to the icy ninth circle, where traitors are punished. Throughout the poem Dante's and Brodsky’s biographies intersect, Florence coincides with St. Petersburg, but the last stanza describes the personal hell of Brodsky – his own city.

    Abstract

    The purpose of this paper is to examine the intertextual connections between F.Iskander’s story “Belshazzar’s Feasts” and the Book of Daniel. The content of the story is analysed in the context of the carnival tradition too. On the one hand, Stalin’s character as a tyrant is compared with Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. On the other hand, Stalin’s figure is examined as the temporary king of carnival, whose part could be performed by a criminal condemned to death and whose execution is predetermined by the ritual. In Iskander’s story Stalin’s death is a sign of punishment for the crimes committed by him. The author’s description of Stalin’s banquet demonstrates the aberration of the folk carnival tradition, at the same time keeping the essential ambivalence of the carnival unchanged.
