The Artistic Method of Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky and Mikhail Bulgakov: The Statement of a Problem.

The paper considers key dominants and the formation of the artistic method of S.D. Krzhizhanovsky and M.A. Bulgakov in the 1920-1930s. They were formed in a common historical and cultural context for the two writers. The artistic method of Krzhizhanovsky and Bulgakov can be defined as fantastic realism bordering on modernist experimentalism in the field of genres and mythopoetics. The fiction world of texts by Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky and Mikhail Bulgakov, in which the space of the deepest philosophical insights borders on the theatrical space of buffoonery, is the world of creation of the new myths, the myths of a new social chronotope. The research material includes publicistic and fiction works by S.D. Krzhizhanovsky and M.A. Bulgakov, as well as the diary entries and memoirs about them written by their contemporaries. The relevance of the research lies in the need to understand the specifics of the analyzed modernist writers’ methodology in the framework of nowadays semiotics, mythopoetics, and linguoculturology.
