Summary/Abstract: The paper entitled "Spirituality in Ivan Vyrypaev's plays" is an attempt to analyze and interpret the religious aspects of the ideological space in Russian playwright's dramas. In Vyrypaev's plays can be seen an evolution in the presentation of spirituality from a critical polemic with the ideas of Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Christian morality through deconstruction of binary worldview, to the resignation of the entity and sacralization emptiness conceptually motivated by a Buddhist philosophy. However, a thorough analysis of Ivan Vyrypaev's plays shows that the author remains in the world of text, without delving into religious or philosophical literature. Drama's characters spirituality is only an idea locked in a contractual limits of literary and theatrical illusion.
