Abstract
Being a polysemantic phenomenon, the literature is in a systematic process of constructive transformations of previous experience, based on the transit of centuries-old traditions, on the functioning of TTP (theory of traditional plots). The purpose of our work is to analyze the general problems of reception, transformation and new generation of test sequels by the writers by juxtaposition of Gogol’s and Bulgakov’s novels. These methodologies provided a new perspective on the reception and functionality of classic designs. The use of the receptive platform, the theory of TТР, the theory of intertextuality, narratology, etc., have provided the basis for new, unexplored, scientific findings. The well-known traditional motives, plots, characters occupy their niche in the theory of transitivity, without losing relevance due to the endless dialogue «author – recipient». This cultural transit has its regularities, which are engraved in the receptive segment of the science of literature, beginning with the problem of understanding the text, which goes back to deciphering the exegesis. Bulgakov, as a classic writer, formed in a time of crisis and shaky space, not only had to inherit the tradition, but also zealously protect it from the unmotivated literary blasphemy of radically new times. It is in his creative attitude to classical material and his alterations that he is a striking representative of the «caste of the guardians of tradition». His latest novel, incorporating a tremendous literary legacy – from legends to classical material – undoubtedly gives us the right to identify this main Bulgakov text as a meta-romance. The functionality of classical plots and their reminiscences at the reception of the writer appeal to the question of intertextuality. In the context of TCT theory, we examined M. Gogol’s influence on M. Bulgakov’s work. The update of the Gogol text, made possible by numerous microstructural components. In addition, we drew attention to the theatrical interpretations of M. Gogol, which veiled the issue of actualization of classical material. In the feuilleton «Chichikov Adventures», the writer contaminated M. Gogol’s most colorful characters using the past ridiculed the realities of the day.
