Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to disclose one of the components of “Bulgakov’s text” as a literary phenomenon. The study of this phenomenon (along with “Pushkin’s”, “Gogol’s”, and other texts) seems to be quite appropriate, as it is among the important problems of modern humanities (intertext phenomenon). The paper uses comparative and typological methods of investigation of M. Bulgakov’s “Heart of a Dog” (pretext) and A. Zhitinskii’s “Grandson of Dr. Bormental” (sequel). This allows to reveal the palimpsestic nature of A. Zhitinskii’s story, as well as to identify the sociocultural plan and game strategy of world modeling in the literary work. The novelty of the research lies in the identification of structural-semantic peculiarities of A. Zhitinskii’s story in the aspect of the intertextual Bulgakov’s “code”. As the result of the study, it was concluded that annihilation of the sustainable conceptual blocks, which transforms the essence of external and internal attributes of the everyday-existential dominants in relation to the new temporal context, is present in the sequel under study.
