The research material is the data of the modern "Dictionary of Language of the 20th Century Russian Poetry", and first of all – dictionary entries to the proper name "Pushkin" and its derivatives (Pushkinsky, pushkinist, etc.). The novelty of the work is determined by the choice of a "from-dictionary" approach to the topic, which allows us to identify the features of perception of creativity, of fate, of the specifically image of Pushkin by writers of the Silver Age, based on the analysis of contexts, metalanguage markers. Dictionary materials show that Pushkin's beginning is manifested in the use of the name of the national poet in a strong position of the title of the text, in the repeated displaying of Pushkin's lines in the position of the epigraph, which sets both the thematic perspective and the emotional tonality of the work. According to the actual text fragments reflected in the Dictionary, it is clear that Pushkin is interesting for poets of the new century in different states – both a young talent, and a man, who survived exile, and, among others, a recognized classic, who inspiring creativity (see the lines of Annensky, Akhmatova, Blok, Yesenin, etc.). Dictionary data sharpens the diverse associativity in the perception of Pushkin by individual poets (Tsvetaeva, Khlebnikov), the comparison of his name, his image with objects and concepts of different nature. Among the words derived from the name Pushkin, the frequency common language adjective Pushkinsky and Khlebnikov’s neologism “pushkinoty” are distinguished. If the first demonstrates in poetic use the compatibility that characterizes the image of the poet in different ways (Pushkin's revolt, Pushkin's sadness, Pushkin's sense of proportion, etc.), the second – the word-forming and aesthetic potential of the proper name, which is symbolic one in Russian culture.
