In the finest paper, I examine the image of the territory and the image of power in F. Vigel’s "Memoirs". Despite the obvious richness of not only historical but also memoir-creating material, the memoirs still have not received well-deserved research attention and remain scantily studied as a subject of study. In the course of this work, I determined the mechanisms for the formation of images of the territory and images of power, identified the main tactical and lexical techniques for depicting these images. As a result, it was revealed that Vigel designs images of the territory and images of power so that each of the territories is provided in his power and the author forms his own image on the pages of "Memoirs".
