The creation of the novel We, completed in 1922 by Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin (1884-1937), was heavily inspired by many written and oral sources. In it the author plays with space, time, and the cultural memory of the reader, while making correspondences that touch upon traditions of Russian and global literature, philosophy, history, science, and art. From Zamyatin’s perspective, this kind of structure resembles a modern outlook on life appropriate to the previously unknown kaleidoscope of events that was characteristic for 20th century Russia and Europe. To trace back the sources from which the author borrowed, we have to make a “register” of analogy and coincidence. Sources previously established by researchers can also be completed. The article presents an attempt to describe the literary, historic, and scientific sources used by Zamyatin based on his notes (conspectus, extracts, bibliographies), letters, writings, and lists of books borrowed from his friends.
