Abstract
The paper analyzes the lexical manifestations of the concept "(Russian) word" in the last novel by V. Rasputin. The conceptual framework of the book uses linguocultural and theo-anthropo-cosmic approaches to the interpretation of the concept and presents it as the Logos, the source and root of all things, the ultimate truth. It is the interest in the (Russian) word, the return to it, that is believed to generate creative activity and, as a consequence, the resurrection of the Russian soil.
