Abstract
The children's topic plays an extremely important role in the works of one of the greatest Russian prose writers, Andrey Platonov (1899–1951). In his novels, plays and stories there are more than one hundred and fifty "childs" characters; at the same time, quite "adult" problems are associated with them. The childhood in this book is presented as a structure-forming philosophical category that determines the appearance of Platonov's artistic world, showing the general patterns of its functioning in the system of Platonov’s poetics. The subject of consideration is most of the writer's works, so as many of his articles and letters. The book is addressed to philologists studying Platonov's work, to specialists of the Russian literature history, teachers and students.
