The interaction between the theatrical and fairytale discourses of yuri buida's novel, blue blood

At this modern stage of cultural development, the urge to synthesize, particularly the interactions of different kinds of art, genres, styles, and narrative strategies is a rising trend. Two interlinked and complementary phenomena, intertextuality and intermediality, are the subjects of this article. The novel of wellknown Russian writer, Yuri Buida entitled, The Blue Blood [Sinyaya krov (2011)], was selected as the material for this article. The major goal of this article is to determine the peculiarities in the interaction between the theatrical and fairytale discourses in the novel. The analysis establishes that practically all art structures in the work, including the title, characteristics of actions and places, distinctive plot building, and images system, are based on the interaction of fairytale and theatrical discourses. The role of thorough plot-forming fairytale motives, in this case that of blue blood and Sleeping Beauty, are determined to be closely tied with Buida's conception of creation, acting, and game. The evolution of these motives and their multiple meanings were also perceived. The novel also utilizes Shakespearean subtext both through clear allusions and hidden and apparent citings, which are meaningful in the expressions of motives of fate, the tragedy of human existence, and the immortality of creation

Literature as premonition

There are many examples in literature, when writers managed to predict future. The essay examines this phenomenon on the basis of the novels by Russian writers, which contain parallels and prophetic premonitions of the events in Ukraine 2013-2014, the annexation of the Crimea and warnings against the consequences of these processes. The authors of this study do not aim at passing any political judgment or answering the question "Who is to blame?" but trying instead to say that attentive reading of classic literature might help to understand the processes of nowadays and avoid tragic mistakes. The novels addressed in the essay are written respectively in XX-th and XXI-th centuries: The White Guard by Mikhail Bulgakov, The Island of Crimea by Vasily Aksyonov and Sankya by Zakhar Prilepin. Hopefully, over time these events in Ukraine will gain a comprehensive understanding and will be given a deep and objective analysis, which is hardly possible today. Meanwhile we would like to outline the message inherent in the analyzed works: written in different time periods, sometimes separated by centuries, they express the desire of their authors to draw the readers to the eternal values of the world and suggest ways of overcoming war and discord

Literature as premonition

There are many examples in literature, when writers managed to predict future. The essay examines this phenomenon on the basis of the novels by Russian writers, which contain parallels and prophetic premonitions of the events in Ukraine 2013-2014, the annexation of the Crimea and warnings against the consequences of these processes. The authors of this study do not aim at passing any political judgment or answering the question "Who is to blame?" but trying instead to say that attentive reading of classic literature might help to understand the processes of nowadays and avoid tragic mistakes.

Hopefully, over time these events in Ukraine will gain a comprehensive understanding and will be given a deep and objective analysis, which is hardly possible today. Meanwhile we would like to outline the message inherent in the analyzed works: written in different time periods, sometimes separated by centuries, they express the desire of their authors to draw the readers to the eternal values of the world and suggest ways of overcoming war and discord
