Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we study the author’s figurative reflections of different manifestations of artistic unity using the example of Alexander Pushkin's novel in verse “Eugene Onegin”. It is shown that in the text under consideration, these manifestations are concentrated in the introduction and the final lyrical digression; each of them is filled with new principles of meaning- and form-making, which allows us to interpret them as a set of elements of the text’s architectonic form. We describe the principle of correlation between the architectonic form and the compositional one. By framing the chapters, which are characterized by intentionally fragmented relations, the architectonic form of “Eugene Onegin” shows a powerful deconstructive potential and thus fixes the unsteady nature of semantic flows in this work.
