This article considers one of the cases of embodiment of the Boldinsky myth in the Leningrad underground of 1970s. The object of research attention is the poem «Boldinsky Reflections» of Sergey Stratanovsky. The author of the article believes that the given text goes back to N.A. Berdjaev's hypothesis about possible meeting of A.S. Pushkin and Serafim Sarovsky in 1830. The author of research reveals the central conflict of Russian culture - opposition of the secular and spiritual power. Opposition of heroes is strengthened thanks to three latent plots: literary (Walsingham and the Priest), biographic (A.S. Pushkin and metropolitan Filaret), metaliterary (Benedict Sarnov and Vadim Kozhinov). Such structure of the text allows us to speak about the presence of an archetypical plot for Russia, which organizes the paradigm of Russian culture. The author has found out the latent citation from Marcus Aurelius' "Reflections", which allows us, on the one hand, to consider Boldinsky Reflections in a philosophical context and, on the other hand, to speak about the opposition between Russian and European culture.
