Geography Of Russian Poetry: Countries And Cities Inside The Poetic World

Our paper is dedicated to two major problems: the first problem is the digital one and the second problem is a humane one. The digital problem involves automatic extraction of named entities, and the humane problem is connected to the usage of toponyms in poetic texts. Correspondingly, our research comprises two parts: automatic processing of a huge amount of texts from the corpus of Russian poetry and revealing major trends in the functioning of toponyms during the history of the Russian poetry from XVIII to XX centuries.
