The article deals with a phenomenon of religious poetry of Alexander Solodovnikov, who was a poet-prisoner of GULAG. The research problem is to define the esthetic principles of his poetry as well as to reveal how the Christian outlook manifests itself in art comprehension of the world and the man. The most important components of spiritual life of the Christian poet are chosen for the analysis: relation to suffering and death, tendency to humility and repentance, faith in Providence and praise to the Creator. Such external objects of his poetic reflection as the nature, time, history, the fate of Russia, Old Russian culture and scientific progress are also analyzed. A subject of consideration is also the bible context of his creativity, namely using of evangelic reminiscences as a semantic support of the poem and the development of an old psalm tradition. Observations over texts allow to conclude that the ethic and esthetic principles of Solodovnikov`s poetry have the fundamental difference from modern secular culture. The center of his poetic system is not the subjective perception of the various phenomena and events but a religious image itself.

Keywords: Alexander Solodovnikov, Russian poetry, Christian worldview, orthodox culture, samizdat.
