Zusammenfassung:On the basis of research works of Russian literature and art, the paper analyzes Theotokos as an archetype of the Russian soul. The dominance of female (maternal), Messianic, sacrificial beginning in the soul is shown.

Through the image of Theotokos the search for the self-identity of the Russian soul is performed.
