Abstract: The nature of text is controversial: it is linear by form although the expressed thought is not linear. Delinearization of a text by revealing its intrinsic structure and thus unwrapping the text into two-dimensional space opens new possibilities for perceiving and analyzing this text. The article aims to investigate and to assess these possibilities on the base of Rhetorical structure theory (RST) applied to the material of Russian classic poetry (more than 5000 word-usages written by A. K. Tolstoy and K. K. Sluchevsky). The current work presents the first project that attempts to use RST for analyzing Russian poetry. The obtained results prove availability of comparisons between the structures of thought intrinsic to the poetry of different authors and in different periods of their creative work. The project opens the way for enriching the digital counterpart of poetic treasures by supporting them with extensional models annotated in terms of RST.
