Abstract
The article analyzes the poetics of the short story cycle “Angels and Revolution. Viatka 1923” by modern Russian writer Denis Osokin. The author, developing the tradition of Russian ornamental prose of the 20 th century, creates a modern interpretation of revolutionary events. The fictional locus of Viatka 1923 becomes a space of the artistic experiment for language renewal. Using the technique of stylization of the ornamental narrative, Denis Osokin forms the image of an impersonal narrator consisting of many narrative-rhetorical figures that weaken the fabulality of the narrative. The artistic integrity of the cycle is preserved by a system of style, intertextual, and motivational equivalences that create a special form of lyrical plot characteristic for ornamental prose.
