Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes new interpretations of the transition period in Russian literature of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Special attention is given to the point of view expressed by A.I. Ivanitskii, who describes the above-said period using the term baroque classicism. The concepts of other researchers (O.M. Buranok, A.G. Gokina, and P.A. Efimova), who defined it as pre-classicism, are also considered. It is concluded that baroque classicism is characterized by the following main features: typical classical images acquire a new meaning; rational-state procedure is performed in the form of a game. The main feature of baroque is transitivity. Thus, the principles of rationalism and game are at the basis of baroque classicism.
