Аннотация:Objectives: Several modernist manifestos-messages, directed to three types of recipients such as (1) an abstract or notional addressee; (2) a collective (mass, group) addressee; (3) a specific individual are considered in the article. To make relevant conclusions the texts by the representatives of all main poetic movements of Russian modernism: by Bryusov (symbolism), Akhmatova (acmeism), Mayakovsky (futurism), as well as the poets who do not belong to one group or another – Voloshin and Tsvetaeva are studied. The last two figures are polar in their views on art: Voloshin is largely a successor of the traditions of Russian poetry the nineteenth century, as well as classical poetic forms; Tsvetaeva, on the contrary, in later years, is close to avant-garde poetry being the poetry of the experiment and the deliberate non-classic. Such a variety of the poets allows relevant presentation of these trends in the field of the addressed lyrics, which are formed in the depths of Russian modernism, and finding common grounds and divergence of the positions of these movements and the poets. Methods: The research methods are based on the works of the Russian philologists who have studied the addressed lyrics of Russian modernism: S.N. Broitman, L.G. Kikhney, N.V. Nalegach, and T.S. Kruglova. Findings: The poets-modernists have a number of common grounds in the addressed lyrics. Thus, despite the atemporal focus of poetological manifestos, there are clearly visible traces of a historical epoch. Sometimes these traces are implicit, connected with "cipher techniques" of modernists. The second common feature of the messages is their biworld. Stating theoretically important theses the poets cannot remain within the framework of plane continuum, they need several points of view on poetological issues. These viewpoints can be bound with the transcendental spheres, have some mythological background or even some futurological justification. The third one is the following: the author's position can be expressed in the form of direct imperatives, as it was by Voloshin or Mayakovsky, or it can be veiled, but these messages are always personal, modal. The fourth common feature is the polemical charge of the addressed messages, explicit or implicit. The fifth one is the theoretical addressing being a reason of self-discovery. In the addressed lyrics a poet-modernist often tries to express his ideal image, to construct an autobiographical myth. Novelty: It is the first time when the aesthetic platforms of different movements and idiopoetics of Russian modernism from the standpoint of the addressed lyrics are brought into comparison in Russian study of literature. Besides it is shown how the communicative component allows the poets to build and adjust their theoretical position in the light of solution of the most important poetological problems (sometimes in the course of discussion).
