Intertextualita jako románový postup v románu Оправдание
Intertextuality as a novel method in the novel Opravdaniye

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with intertextuality in a novel by Dmitry Lvovich Bykov. Based on the results of textual analysis, the author describes how quotations and allusions have an influence on ge-neration of meanings in the novel Opravdaniye. Examples of intertextuality are researched from the point of view of two types of model readers. First, the author demonstrates how the naive reader gains concrete impulses from intertextuality to form a semantic level, which is connected with the main character‘s theory about the Great Purge. Intertextuality is consequently analyzed in connection with the critical reader who forms the opposite meaning. On the basis of these results, the paper provides examples of fictional peepholes to interpret antihuman terror.
