Abstract
This paper examines the dramatic text God May Be Around by Aleksandr Vvedenskii, which is viewed through the prism of the medieval mystery play. The structure of the text and the main motifs of the play are analyzed, and they reveal to us that this is a new type of the eschatological mystery play, created as a response to the apocalyptic changes in society after the Bolshevik Revolution. The categories of time and death are interpreted against the background of the Soviet reforms of the 1920s (calendar, religion), which brought about a feeling of instability and disintegration of the world.
