Abstract
In the article we consider the semiotic character and artistic specificity of the zoological images in Lev Losiev’s poetry and discover the quotation base of the most of them. Also we trace how the politically actual satirical meanings of those zoological images are created. We discover the peculiar semantic content of these images when they embody the topics of motherland and creative work in the Losiev’s poetry. Particularly we analyze the nickname “Lev Losiev” and
explore the role of paradox in the creation both semantics of the nickname and auto mythology of the poet himself.
