The article attempts a holistic analysis of V. Sosnora's poetry collection "The Ides of March", dated 1983. This book is special due to the fact that it is the first work, written after the author survived clinical death and lost his hearing, and the last before Sosnora's sixteen-year silence as a poet. Biographical, cultural-historical, mythological, descriptive-functional, comparative-comparative, and formal research methods were used in the work on the article. The motif-figurative system of the collection is considered, and a conclusion is made about the significance of the images of God, the Father and the Son, presented in different guises. The author's principle of working with historical material is analyzed, which turns out to be synonymous with that presented in Sosnora's historical prose (the book "Rulers and Destinies"). "The Ides of March" collection is noted for its similarities with previous collections ("The Lost Farm" and "The Supreme Hour"), as well as with the first poetry collection written by Sosnora after sixteen years of silence ("Where did you go? and where is the window?"). Numerous allusions and reminiscences present in each poem of "The Ides of March" collection are selectively analyzed. The conclusion is made about the high proportion of references to the works of A.S. Pushkin, W. Shakespeare, N.V. Gogol, M. Tsvetaeva, A. Blok and a number of other authors. Thus, the collection "The Ides of March" is considered within the framework of a broad cultural and historical context, into which the author embeds it. The novelty of the research is determined by the lack of literary studies at the moment devoted to understanding the role and place of the collection "The Ides of March" in Sosnora's work.
