Abstract
The article considers the mirror symbols that is present in the works of the 18th century Ukrainian philosopher G.S. Skovoroda and the Russian writers and thinkers of 20th century: L.D. Zinovieva-Annibal, Vyach. Ivanov, V.F. Ern. Basing on a fragment from L.V. Ivanova’s memoirs about her father, the researcher shows a significant similarity of symbols in the texts of the above authors. That can be explained by their involment in the common Platonic and Neoplatonic traditions. In all cases it is about the problems of Plato’s Eidos and its material incarnations. At the same time, the semantic specificity of each of the considered mirror symbols is also clarified. To clarify some of the details the author refers to a copy of G.S. Skovoroda works of 1894, which was used by V.F. Ern and which keeps his notes and comments in margines.
