The article dwells on the hierarchical system of historical relations in Yu. Dombrovsky’s novel “The Faculty of Useless Knowledge”. The concept of historical time presented in the text is based on a conflict between the culture and power that are embodied as the person and the state respectively. In the novel, real historical time is intertwined with mythological time; addressing historical and Biblical allusions, intertextual reminiscences and parallels destroys monolithic character of the temporal paradigm, allows to consider a temporal basis of the novel as a complete historical representation and to trace the relations between the person and the state in the linear (at the synchronic and diachronic levels) and cyclic sequences at the same time.
Key words: художественное время, идеологический роман, хронотоп, сдвиг временной парадигмы, Ю. Домбровский, artistic time, ideological novel, chronotope, temporal paradigm shift, Yu. Dombrovsky
