The name of Svetlana has an amazing cultural history: it was not included in the saints and was not found in monuments of ancient Russian writing, but became part of the Russian onomasticon thanks to the famous ballad of Vasily Zhukovsky. Elena Dushechkina traces its path from a classic poetic text of the early nineteenth century to its incredible popularity during the Soviet era, when it unexpectedly entered the list of new names of “ideological sound”. Having described in detail the history of the creation of the Zhukovsky ballad and the literary fate of its central image, the author turns to the history of the name Svetlana in the XX century, attracting extensive material, including anthroponymic research, as well as interviews with its carriers.
Elena Dushechkina (1941–2020) – Doctor of Philology, Professor of St. Petersburg University, specialist in Russian literature and culture.
