The article is an attempt of the semantic interpretation of the poem of Inna Lisnianska “Развалилось то, что долго длилось…”. It concerns the role of the Jewish Question in identity formation of the lyrical subject. I was preceded by a rough outline of the Jewish issue in Russian literature. The interpretation demonstrates that the drama of the tumble indicated in the title is opposed by the “elf” of the lyrical subject. That self was formed by the unity of blood, the unity of both cultures and both religions. It was formed by her cry — with all the blood (“всей своей кровью”), where Christian and Jewish elements merge.
