The article investigates emergence and development of motive rows, in which the author employs as emotive rows such heterogeneous components as an ear-flap cap, a bicycle, cheese, Seagull, a hare, a fortress, as well as others. This motive net series as an explication of Shishkin’s all-round invariant themes, such as cohesion of life and death, of the past and the present, of things visible and invisible. This motive set is offered in variable combinations (the ear-flap cap plus the bicycle, the ear-flap cap plus the hare, the bicycle plus the red-haired girl, the red-haired girl plus the “Seagull”, the semantic twinkling of motives (Seagull as Chekhov’s play and as a car’s brand, cheese for tamed mice and “Cheese!” in photographers’ argot) creating additional valences for forming up of new motive ties. In this way motive combinatorics opposes centrifugal forces of plot bifurcations, mending chronological gaps and uniting stories which develop in different dimensional and temporal localities. Hidden reflections help build up the framework of this or that microplot and allow it to freely shift from one plot to another
