description The article is a detailed commentary on the expression “Russian poetry mechanism” used by A.S. Pushkin in “Eugene Onegin”. Basing on works of predecessors (V.S. Baevsky, S.I. Panov), the author denotes the genesis and semantics of this expression in the context of historical poetics. The field of its application in Russian literature of the early 19th century — lyrical and dramatic work — is revealed. As one of the first examples where the expression appears, a poem by Euthymius Chudovsky (17th century) is given. The formation of the metaphor of a clock as a model of the world’s structure, and then of God as a great watchmaker, in the Western European tradition is dated by this period. On the basis of texts by Euthymius Chudovsky and Simeon Polotsky, it is concluded that works of Moscow scribes can be included in the context of pan-European discussions of this period.
