Abstract

The proper noun research of the F. M. Dostoevsky’s compositions associated by the mythopoetical constant sky constitutes a part of the research, devoted to the study of mythopoetical constants as nontemporal universals in the onomastic laboratory of the great writer. The mythopoetic dominant sky has primarily found its symbolic reflection in such anthroponyms as Verkhovenskiy and Verkhovtseva, as well as in toponym Skvoreshniki. Determinancy of the onyms by the mythologeme sky acts as a special symbol in the writer’s works, pointing out to the analogical substitution of one constant by another.

Keywords

onomastics, toponym, anthroponym, poetics, mythological constants of F. M. Dostoevsky.
