  The paper deals with the formation of artistic historiosophy in the Russian literature of the 18^th century. The main attention in the study is focused on the odic works of M.V. Lomonosov. The research demonstrates that in his odes Lomonosov used not only constant historiosophemes and ideologemes obtained from the general storehouse of philosophical, historical and political knowledge of his time, but also his own historiosophemes. The analysis of the two insufficiently studied M.V. Lomonosov's works – "… on Accession to the Throne and for the New Year 1762" and "… for the New Year 1764" – shows that an individualized historiosophic concept was developed in them. The range of Lomonosov‘s main historiosophic ideas is revealed, for example, summing up reign, the prosperity of Russia under the power of the House of Romanovs, "golden times", the dying and reviving god, and generally useful work for the benefit of Russia.

  Among the genre concepts of Love formed in the poetry of the 18th century (erotic-political myth about the love of monarchs in an epithalamic ode; triumph of flesh and physiology in priapic ode; hedonism in anacreontic ode) a special place is occupied by the concept of historiosophical ode. In one of the works of this genre – «The Kingdom of Total Love» by S. S. Bobrov – an attempt was made to combine Eros and History. The ideas of Bobrov, a freemason poet, about the origin of Love go back to the myths of various genesis. Another idea was that Love brings light and harmony to non-living nature, and living nature is completely submitted to the Law of Love – the Law of the continuation of Life. In general, Love appears in Bobrov's historiosophical ode as a harmonizing cosmic force.
