MIKHAIL BULGAKOV AND SLAVIC MYTHOLOGY

Summary

The article examines the mythological subtext of Bulgakov's works. The author assumes that motifes of Slavic mythology (both in pagan and Christian versions) occupy an important place in this subtext. The functioning of the "snake-and- chicken"'s discourse in Bulgakov’s novel "Fatal Eggs", stories ("Towel with a Rooster", "The Steel Windpipe "), plays ("Zoyka's Apartment", "Flight ") is considered. The analysis of mythological allusions clarify the interpretation of the writer's works and let specify the structure of his artistic world.
