Annotation

The article regards the value features of Moscow image created in the middle of the 20th century — the era of the city’s restoration after the war. The relevance of the study is due to the need to focus the attention of modern youth on the values of Muscovites, thanks to which the revival became possible. The article aims at identifying the axiosphere in the specified time-spatial continuum. The method in the study was semiometry, which included the stages of establishing a significant factual base, reconstructing value systems and classifying the data obtained. The study data consisted of 112 value judgments and 137 axiogenic situations-episodes, subject to the procedure of linguaxiological analysis. The article clarifies the concepts of anti-values, value judgment and axiogenic situation. The values of the post-war Moscow image included its linguo-axiological features from the point of view of a special chronotope (time and place) and society, which served as the basis for typologization in the work and directions for the axiological description. The study revealed such values as Victory, holiday, renewal, technologies and others, which were included in the group of chronotope values of Moscow. A large group of social values of Muscovites included vital, cultural, group and emotional values. The chronotope values of beauty and cleanness of Moscow, old architectural buildings, their history, names and neighborhood yards; social values of service ranking, high-ranking restaurants and American jazz; as well as the anti-value «lack of laughter» were considered specific for the city of Moscow. The description of the axiosphere requires a large amount of empirical material to be studied together with the accompanying explanation, the completeness of which cannot be contained within the boundaries of a scientific article. New sources of factual material are going to be obtained in the prospect.
