Abstract

"Tlen" [Oxygen] by Ivan Vyrypaev is a multi-plane text with a successful marriage of universality and topicality and local colors. The thematic layer of the text is made by both the image of the modern world disturbed by conflicts as well as the image of the post-Soviet Russia. The provocative deconstruction of the biblical rhetoric exposes an axiological chaos and epistemological loss of the human, and the incessant reinterpretation of notions and judgments becomes a gesture of description and cognition of the world.

Keywords:

Russian drama, deconstruction, the Bible in literature, Russian postmodernism
