Abstract
INTRODUCTION. The purpose of the study is to analyze the features of the poetics of the short stories by B.A. Lazarevsky from the collection “Doomed and Other Stories” (Berlin, 1921), which were created and published by the writer in emigration, using the example of the introduction technique. It should be noted that the collection was not previously subjected to literary analysis, and the artist's name was unfairly forgotten in his homeland after the revolution due to ideological and other reasons.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The specifics of using the Lazarevsky preface technique in the stories of the collection “Doomed and Other Stories” are considered. Historicalliterary, structural-poetic methods are used for the analysis.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. It is revealed that the technique of anticipation is embodied by the writer in the prophetic dreams of the characters, as well as in their ability to predict future events. Dreams characterize the emotional state of the characters and serve as a way to escape from the harsh reality. Most of the characters have developed intuition and emotional sensitivity. It is determined that the writer actively used the preface in other works of the initial period of emigration (“The Soul of a Woman”, “Captain's Widow”).CONCLUSION. The clarification of the features of the poetics of emigrant works through the analysis of the reception of the preface is the theoretical significance of the study. The practical significance lies in the possibility of using the materials obtained in the practice of university and school teaching literature of the Russian abroad.
