The author of this article analyses the socio-cultural basis which shows the unique of an artistic world in the novel Tchevengur written by A. Platonov. The splitting of „un-fortunate personality”, Utopian dreams, barbarisation of culture, chaos, eschatology of the way of thinking, as well as emotions and feelings; all of these are reflected to a considerable degree on the pages of the analysed piece of work. „Double-belief” of the Russian mockery culture, Slavonic mythology, polemic about N. Fiodorov’s ideas, a dialogue with Rosanov’s philosophy of gender characterizes this literary work which is regarded as a significant monument of the epoch’s awareness.

The aim of this paper is to compare and discuss, direct and indirect, intertextual references to Andrzej Platonov’s The Foundation Pit in The East of Andrzej Stasiuk. A. Stasiuk’s novel is an attempt of self-discovery, finding own roots, seeing „clarity of existence”. Autobiographical narrator of the novel often refers to fragments of The Foundation Pit by A. Platonov, which he finds in the past of his grandparents, his parents and his own. Characters in both novels try to find the same sense, hidden truth, despite time and geographical gap dividing them. Traveller from The East, communism child, recalls resettlement and Jewish extermination, in other words about matter annihilation. Image of Poles, Russians, Chinese people and communism creates integral whole and forces to reflect over past, present and future times. Whereas the East, which according to narrator, begins at the east bank of Vistula and reaches to China, becomes a foundation pit, where through fire and destruction, foundations of communism were built.

Bureaucracy is one of the leitmotives underpinning the ouvre of Andrei Platonov. The article explores the many facets this theme contains, both within the writer’s literary output as well as in his non-fiction works (notebooks, letters, literary critique, journalistic pieces). Drawing from his life experiences in the Soviet Russia of 1920s and 1930s, Platonov shows us how bureaucratic procedures destroy human relationships, destroying trust, friendships and family ties. He confronts a powerful state with alienated citizens asking moral questions about the nature of totalitarianism and how disastrous it is for society as a whole. And although Platonov excels in satire, the conclusions he draws are sombre.
