The paper analyses a chapter called Father’s Father from the Andrei Bitov’s novel Pushkin House – an example of ecological discourse in Russian fiction literature. The provided literary analysis of the fictional text serves as a basis for pedagogical text interpretation useful in the literary courses. Ecological problems presented in the novel are evaluated as resulting from social changes that took place after the establishment of the Soviet power. The novel juxtaposes natural ecology and cultural ecology as both result from consumer (uncritical, exploiting) attitude towards nature/culture and (un)conscious effort to eliminate natural hierarchy. The paper interprets the text by decoding its individual elements on the intertextual and metatextual levels. It also analyses selected elements of the text poetics, including the chronotope of the text, and decodes the typology of characters and its meaning.
