Abstract: The novels of the 1930s «The Kremlin» and «U» by Vsevolod Ivanov are involved in a new round of returning to literary investigations and are considered in the aspect of the dialogic correlation of their texts. The possibility of positioning these novels as a genre ambilogy is opened up owing to revealing the depths of their subtext. The paper considers the means characteristic of Vs. Ivanov’s creative style that were used by him to express the subtext content of the novels as works casting doubt to the path chosen in the 1930s toward the unification of a human personality and toward the rapid creation of a new man: from the diversity of ridiculous modus forms (irony, sarcasm) to the parodying of various forms of artistic writing and phantasmagoric-playing devices in narration.
