This article provides a comprehensive analysis of Aleksandr Faynberg’s poem beginning with the line “O‘t yoqdim” (“I lit the fire”), using ontological, existential, and semiotic approaches. The study examines the poem’s compositional structure, the lyrical subject’s inner monologue, the phenomenological interpretation of the taiga as a space, the symbolic meaning of the fire archetype, and the poetic function of sensory imagery (smell, taste, bodily perception). The temporal category is analyzed in terms of its transition from quantitative measurement to ontological significance, and the philosophical interpretation of life is considered.
The research methodology is based on hermeneutics, structural poetics, archetype theory, and existential ontology. The study demonstrates that the poem is not merely a depiction of nature but a multi-layered poetic system expressing the human confrontation with existence.
