Abstract
The article focuses on Chekhov’s original way of presenting literary impression of the world. The polemic with literary tradition consists in the writer proposing a holistic vision of a hero. This effect is achieved by employing conceptual integration. A short story Ward No. 6 in which a new trick is presented by means of the description of the hero’s appearance (dr. Ragin’s), may serve as an example of this creative method. Gradually, the integration of different mental spaces permeates into the internal world of the hero and complicates simple axiological assessment. The holistic picture of a hero appears also in the early stages of Chekhov’s creative activity, The Death of a Government Clerk being an example. As a result, it can be concluded that the literary works of the author of The Black Monk are always deeper than a free interpretation.

Summary
Концептуальная интеграция как способ формирования новой картины мира в прозе Чехова – полный ответ на этот вопрос, конечно, требует долгих размышлений, но в настоящей статье мы, упрощая, сосредоточиваем внимание на том, как автор относится к создаваемой им картине мира, т.е. Как известно, является философской доктриной, которая провозглашает, что целое больше, чем сумма его элементов[12].
