| Summary: | The trilogy “Christ and Antichrist” by Dmitry Merezhkovsky amazes with the diversity of intertextual inclusions. However, the entire complex of intertext in it is subordinated to the function of creating a cultural myth centred on a certain concept of the course of world history. This article answers the question of how a philosophical quotation transformed by the author’s concept and simultaneously influencing it during the author’s reception of this quotation is built into the system of chronotopes, scenes, and narrative imagery. The author argues the special significance of proper names: names of philosophers, toponyms, titles of works that integrate the quoted text into the plot, attach it to the intrigue. The paper outlines unity of all quotational inclusions that make up a complex of philosophemes commensurate with the epic point of view of the immanent author. |
