Summary: The article analyzes the principles of thesaurus of surrealist concepts in the poetry of V. Kondratiev. The history of the main terms of surrealism – a dream, imagination, an objective case (anticipation), rêve, an eye, a mirror, a journey-flâneuring, memory-oblivion, childhood, love – is taken into account by the poet on an intentional level, but does not unfold in the texts, therefore such concepts are included in the composition of the statement simultaneously as foreign elements with altered motivation and as natural, regular words of artistic discourse. Kondratiev fills them with a poetic thesaurus not only of his poetry, but of Russian poetry as a whole. In the surrealist thesaurus of Kondratiev, the polyvalent concept of the desert attracts particular attention. On the one hand, he actualizes the very meaning of emptiness, building dialogic connections in the field of world and Russian poetry. On the other hand, from the concept of the desert, surrealistically processed and arranged image of sand and motive of wind, coupled with the motive of human breathing (birth), are developed, which causes a subjective trigger – children's images. Due to the thesaurus process, Kondratiev’s verses reveal an example of mimetic surrealism, rare for Russian poetry. Elements traditionally associated with prose penetrate the poetic text and shape it. The point here is not just about the prosaization of poetry, but about the objectification and mimetization of surrealist and, more broadly, shift statements in the field of poetry.
