The article deals with the functioning of zoonyms in comparative constructions in Sasha Cherny’s poetry. The use of different types of comparative constructions is analyzed statistically according to the formal classification. Distinctive features of comparative constructions with zoonyms are revealed on the basis of the idea of a four-component comparison model, in which the most prominent feature is the predominance of constructions with a nonrecoverable comparison criterion, that is, an implicit connotative meaning that links the comparison object and the comparison standard. The result of this usage is a powerful, picturesque imagery, inherent in the individual style of Sasha Cherny.
