    Annotation Exploring the image of Russia represented in English literature, being a topical issue of Russian English Studies, is a matter of research concerns of a number of scholars in this country. The paper is focused on the image of the Hermitage in Anthony Burgess's novels considered in the context of current scholastic approaches to the problem of reception and representation of the image of Russia in English literature and, generally, in West-European culture. The image of St. Petersburg is a major component of the image of Russia in English literature, while the image of the Hermitage occupies a most significant position in the structure of the image of St. Petersburg. Having analysed A. Burgess's Honey For The Bears and Any Old Iron, we conclude that the novels belong to the discourse of culture, a model of English literary representation of Russia, intended to evoke the reader's sympathy for the country. In the structure of the imagological image, we single out an opposition “the Winter Palace – the Hermitage”, in which the former component conveys the semantics of life, and the latter – of death. The image of the Hermitage highlights the idea about the borrowed character of Russian culture and its secondary status in relation to the West. The Hermitage, represented in the novels, is only one of the components of the complicated system of images revealing A. Burgess's attitude towards the theme of Russia/Soviet Union touched upon in many of his works, but it is exemplary of the specificity of his reception of Russia.
