Abstract
ABSTRACT Andrei Platonov’s The Foundation Pit contains its own interpretation of the interaction between life and death. Scholars are usually focused on the influence of Nikolai Fedorov’s philosophy, but resurrection is an ancient symbol important for all of Christian tradition. Platonov’s novel has several parallels with ancient Patristic texts, including St. Gregory of Nyssa’s On the Making of Man and St. Ambrose of Milan’s Death as a Good, both written in the fourth century CE. The personal soul and resurrection of the body that Christians accept conflicts with the incorporeal ideal of true reality important for Greek philosophy. The Soviet ideological utopian project conflicts with the personal being of man in a similar way.
