Abstract: The purpose of this study is to identify the Russian historical and literary context in Marina Tsvetaeva's prose of the emigrant period and in the novels of Guillaume Musso.
The modern French writer Guillaume Musso is the author of two dozen novels, which (except for "Skidamarink", 2001) were translated into Russian and published in Russia. In almost every one of these novels, one can "discover" the Russian historical and literary context. This will be the main object of our research in the framework of the article (the analysis of the entire multicultural contextual complex of G. Musso's novels requires a more extensive consideration).
The main subject of the article is a trilogy of novels about writers: "The Girl and the Night", "The Secret Life of writers" and "Life as a Novel", as well as the adjacent novel "Paper Girl", the main character of which Tom Boyd is a famous writer. Since in the novels Musso refers to meta-narrative, the creation of a meta-text, which involves commenting on the novel by the author, inviting the reader to his creative laboratory, and also requires identifying the historical and cultural context. The novel "The Girl and the Night" by G. Musso is considered in comparison with the "Tale of Sonechka" by M. Tsvetaeva and requires an appeal to the vital biographical context. Russian historical and literary context of the "writer's" cycle of novels by Guillaume Musso and prose by Marina Tsvetaeva" for the first time revealed intertextual connections of novels by the most popular French writer Guillaume Musso with works of Russian literature: emigrant prose by Marina Tsvetaeva, works by F.M. Dostoevsky, I.S. Turgenev and other writers.
The authors of the article pay special attention not only to the intertextual connections of Russian and French prose of the XX-XXI century, but also to the peculiarities of the plot structure of modern literature.
This study attempts to identify the main trends in modern literature and trace their reflection in the works of G. Musso. The main conclusion that the authors of the article make is that in Musso's prose, the Russian text can be identified at all contextual levels: vital-biographical, literary, historical, cross-cultural.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to identify the features of the poetics of G.D. Grebenshchikov's novel "The Epic of Mikul Buyanovich", written during the years of emigration. The first edition of the novel took place in 1924. The article reflects the reception of critics of the Russian diaspora to this publication and to the authorized translation of 1940, which was published in the USA. The main hypothesis is that this novel can be correlated with Russian ornamental prose at the genre-style level, they are brought together by epic stylization, plot fragmentation, a large role of individual motifs when the text unfolds in the system of intertextual relations reflecting the mythologized worldview of the author. Ornamental prose is an artistic and stylistic kind of verbal skill that combines the features of prose and poetry, therefore, linguopoetic and contextual analysis is used in the work. Taking into account that ornamental prose is a concept that is not correlated with a specific style, and ornamental fields are constantly modified depending on the author's artistic method, conclusions are drawn about the main stylistic "keys" and genre transformations of G.D. Grebenshchikov's novel "The Epic of Mikul Buyanovich". The renewal of the artistic language in the first half of the XX century was a characteristic phenomenon not only for modernist literary trends, but also for traditionalism, with which the aesthetic attitudes and artistic practice of G.D. Grebenshchikov can be correlated.
