Summary/Abstract: The article explores the evolution of one of the central themes of A. Platonov’s work — the recovery of the dead. It has evangelical origins and is inextricably linked with the problems of life, death, immortality, salvation. The complex attribution of actualized artistic nominations and their equivalents to different sources can be traced in its development. In the revolutionary eschatology of the young Platonov (1910–1920), the reinterpretation of the New Testament view of the opposition of life-death, remythologization and utopian transcription of the evangelical images and plots is traced. In the novel “Chevengur”, in the works of the 1930s–1940s the restoration of meanings and symbols of the New Testament takes place.
