Аннотация:The article reviews the novels by Eugene Vodolazkin Laurus andThe Aviator in the context of the traditions of Russian literature of the twentiethcentury, in particular, represented by such authors as Mikhail Bulgakov, AndreiPlatonov, and Boris Pasternak. The writer actively uses anti-utopian forms andmotives in order to characterize the Soviet reality, which he seeks to recreatein the novelThe Aviator; however, the philosophical discoveries of Andrei Platonov, especially as it relates to physical and moral triumph over death, are also important for the novel. The mystery of death and its spiritual meaning arealso sought by two Wondermaker physicians: Doctor Zhivago and the medieval doctor and later the monk, Laurus. Through these characters, the authors areseeking to create an image of the “holy man in the world”, the righteous one, who is opposed to society and readers. In general, reminiscences from twentiethcentury Russian literature enrich the philosophical semantics and artistic worldof the novels by Vodolazkin
