description The author reveals the structural and semantic features of the cycle Мiniatures by A. I. Solzhenitsyn. As a result of the analysis of the cycle of works carried out in line with the cognitive and communicative approach, the author comes to a conclusion that the genre of the Miniatures has a number of typical characteristics, i.e. three-part composition, including narrative, lyrical and philosophical components; a complex organisation of the author’s image, which brings together an intermediary who carries the word of God to people, a representative of the collegial (Russian Orthodox) community and a narrator who is extremely close to the personality of the real writer; multiple targeting: oneself (self-reflection), reader (teaching message), God (confession, prayer); a set of dominant tonalities: reverent (in relation to the divine), accusatory (in relation to state power and manifestations of the low in man), instructive (in relation to the reader-interlocutor). Typical genre features unify the cycle Мiniatures, however, despite a set of typical features, each “miniature” has a pronounced individual artistic character and its own aesthetic value. The cycle is divided into two parts, each of which ends with a prayer: a thanksgiving prayer for personal well-being on behalf of the author’s self concludes the first part of the cycle; a prayer for the well-being of Russia on behalf of the author as part of the Russian Orthodox community concludes the second part of the cycle. At the same time, thematic and tonal coincidences of prayers with the works of each part of the cycle allow us to consider them not only as final components, but also as links that bind the entire cycle of Мiniatures into a whole circular structural and semantic unity, which embodies the author’s picture of the world.
