ABSTRACT In this article I analyze the biblical intertextual connections of two poems by M. A. Vološin from the war and revolutionary period, both titled “Posev.” The poems are intertextually connected through the parable of the wheat and the weeds from the Gospel of Matthew. When read side by side, the interplay of their structures is discernible, and this, I argue, exposes a hidden signification in the poems. The poems’ symbolical meanings are interconnected also on a deeper level. I show how the poems render Russia’s destiny and future through some of the philosophical ideas and movements that impacted on the Russian Symbolist movement, such as myth-creation, theurgy, the Russian idea and anthroposophy. In particular I focus on the ‘seed metaphor’ that is central in both poems. In this metaphor Rudolf Steiner’s anthroposophical predictions are merged with the messianism of the Russian idea as expressed in its perspective on Russia’s destiny. I argue that the poems, written within the context of the Symbolists’ myth-creating program, can be interpreted as attempts at theurgic art with the aim of inciting a national spiritual revival shaped by the Russian idea and by Steiner’s predictions about the Russians as the “people of Christ,” leading humanity’s spiritual evolution. 1

俄罗斯与种子的隐喻：以马沃洛辛的“波塞夫”诗为例

摘要 在这篇文章中，我分析了 MA Vološin 在战争和革命时期的两首诗的圣经互文联系，两首诗都名为“Posev”。这些诗通过马太福音中小麦和杂草的寓言相互联系起来。当并排阅读时，它们结构的相互作用是显而易见的，我认为，这揭示了诗歌中隐藏的含义。诗歌的象征意义也在更深层次上相互关联。我通过一些影响俄罗斯象征主义运动的哲学思想和运动，如神话创造、神学、俄罗斯思想和人类学，展示了这些诗歌如何呈现俄罗斯的命运和未来。我特别关注两首诗中的核心“种子隐喻”。在这个比喻中，鲁道夫·施泰纳 (Rudolf Steiner) 的人智学预测与俄罗斯思想的弥赛亚主义融合在一起，体现在其对俄罗斯命运的看法中。我认为，在象征主义者的神话创造计划的背景下写成的诗歌可以被解释为对神术艺术的尝试，其目的是激发由俄罗斯思想和施泰纳对俄罗斯人的预测塑造的民族精神复兴“基督的子民”，引领人类的精神进化。1 可以被解释为神术艺术的尝试，其目的是激发由俄罗斯思想和施泰纳对俄罗斯人作为“基督之民”的预测所塑造的民族精神复兴，引领着人类的精神进化。1 可以被解释为神术艺术的尝试，其目的是激发由俄罗斯思想和施泰纳对俄罗斯人作为“基督之民”的预测所塑造的民族精神复兴，引领着人类的精神进化。1
