В статье рассматривается трансформация евангельских мотивов и образов в лирике В. Т. Шаламова.The article in the cultural, philosophical and religious-ontological context presents the Christological theme in the poetry of V. T. Shalamov, which, developing throughout the poet's career, underwent a peculiar evolution - from the atheistic-secularized understanding of Jesus Nazarene as a historical person, who revealed to the world the absolute value of the moral and ethical teachings of the New Testament, before penetrating the spiritual and metaphysical depth of the Gospels, evangelizing the victory of life over death, being over nothing Philological ness, freedom over necessity. The purpose of this work is to study the transformation of the gospel motifs and images, that make up the biblical realm of the world culture, in the lyrics of Shalamov in close connection with the ethical and aesthetic searches of the poet, which turned out to coincide with the aspiration of the Russian thinkers to the moral Absolute at the turn of the 19th - 20th centuries
