Summary/Abstract: To the autobiographical character of Remizov’s prose several works were consacred in the literary history. However, they do not specify the “subjectivism” of the text exactly. In the article, we attempted to reveal it introducing the term “autobiographic hero”. Objectification of the character of the autobiographic hero takes place in the short story of Remizov as a spirit (дух) in pagan’s sense connected to the low culture, or as an internal voice (внутренний голос) of the text which is shaped in quasi-personal narration. In Remizov’s meta-narration, the presence of the author practically is not perceptible. Due to it, some principles of Remizov’s poetics could be approached to the principles set forth in R. Barthes work “La mort l ’auteur”.
