The purpose of the study is to clarify the author's chronotopical vision of world and man in the poetry of the Mari poet Valentin Columb and the Russian poet Alexander Sychev. The author's chronotopic vision is one of the paradigmatic constants of a comparative study of original and translated texts. The author's chronotope is associated with intentially content of the author's consciousness. It reflects the natural spatial and temporal correlation with the topos of the place of birth (place of action), the landscape, the homeland, the Motherland, the planet, the space. The research centers on the poems by Valentine Columb and Alexander Sychev. The author of the study uses the method of autorhological analysis, in which the author considers as a subject of literary activities and literary work as verbal and figurative objectification of the existential forces of the writer. The author came to the conclusion that the poetry by Valentine Columbus and Alexander Sychev objectifies family, historical, socio-political, planetary-cosmic consciousness, characteristic of Soviet literature of the 1960s-1970s. This consciousness is realized in following the Mari oral-poetic tradition in the poetry of Valentine Columbus. Speaking about the poetry by Alexander Sychev, we should notice, that the author's consciousness is realized in the Russian literary-poetic tradition. In either case, adherence to tradition is evident in national stereotypes embodied in the images, in the very nature of comparison of one reality with the other.
