A.M. Remizov and the Heirs: Remizov’s Reminiscent Layer in E.Vodolazkin’s Novel The Aviator

The article deals with cases of rethinking and refraction of the autobiographical prose of A.M. Remizov in the work of E. Vodolazkin. The book “Whirled Rus’ ” became a source of ideas and material for the memoirs of the hero of the novel “The Aviator” by E. Vodolazkin. The cognitive knots of the hero’s memories are associated with reconstructions of post-revolutionary events – economic and social catastrophe, devastation and famine. In the novel “The Aviator” the symbolic images of “catastrophe”, “hostile whirlwind”, “apocalypse” are also accentuated and the image of A. Blok is mythologized, which becomes a symbol of the bygone era of the Silver Age. Along the way, the intertextual echoes of the novel with E. Zamyatin’s story “The Cave” are considered, in which traces of the influence of A. Remizov are also found.
