Abstract

The article explores the idea of quotation-allusion layer depth of Pushkin’s «Notes on “Count Nulin”». The article closely examines its resemblance to B. Pascal’s “thought” about “the Cleopatra’s nose”. The author demonstrates that it appears in similarities of the ways of thought, the nature of the relationship between small causes and global consequences as well as ironic modality of both notes. The article expresses and substantiates the idea that Pascal’s way of paradoxical convergence of heterogeneous phenomena is reflected in the composition of Pushkin’s madrigal-type poems, as well as in the nature of the development of events in “The Queen of Spades”.
