The article deals with the problem of intertextuality in the stories by Alexej Varlamov. The authors provide two meanings of intertextuality as an author’s strategy or style, shaping of a text meaning by another text and the intertextual view of literature critizism. V. Meskin, V. Ratnikova reveal references to the Pushkin’s fairytale “Skazka o care Saltane” and to the intellectual novel “Igra v biser” (“ Das Glasperlenspiel“) written by Hesse in the story “Zdravstvuj, knjaz'!” written by Varlamov.
