metadata.value: The author analyses autobiographical prose of the poet of the Silver Age M. A. Voloshin (1877–1932) in
  the context of Plato’s philosophy and mythology. The subject of the analysis is topology of writer’s spiritual
  wandering and memory phenomenology. The materials of the study are memoirs and diary prose
  of the 1900s, series of autobiographical articles, sketches and essays of the 1900–1910s, lectures and
  incomplete sketches united by the subjects of travel, spiritual wandering and self-discovery. It turns
  out that cosmology, mythology and the doctrine about Plato’s memory had impact on formation of
  the Voloshin’s creative principles. Topos is considered as a memory place that becomes a sacred space
  according to Plato’s dialogues. Motives of secular and sacred space, plots of journey, wandering in a
  labyrinth, and an exit from darkness are analysed. Toposes that became symbolical space of memory for Voloshin are allocated. These are Munich (the city of museums and beer), Budapest (the labyrinth
  city and the museum city), St. Petersburg (the museum city and the cemetery city), Rome (the labyrinth
  city, the museum city and the artistic city), Paris (the museum city, the labyrinth city, the theatre
  city, the carnival city, the artistic city and the brothel city). Plato’s traditions and aesthetic utopianism
  of the Silver Age created a concept of the “Ideal Topos”. It is the city of museums and the artistic city
  where the gothic temple has an important role. Topos is analysed as consciousness chronotope when
  space is supplemented with historical time. In conclusion it is show that Antique, Christian, natural
  and cosmic toposes became dominating for Voloshin’s concepts and creativity; they are opposed to the
  modern cities that have apocalyptic origin. Gothic space that symbolises topos of the Christian culture
  is the most important for the author. Refs 39.
