Abstract

The work is aimed at identifying the intertextuality of the story of the Strugatsky brothers «Snail on the slope». There are three studies devoted to the names and allusions with the works of Kozma Prutkov, Venedikt Yerofeyev, Jorge Luis Borges. The results obtained complement the general intertextual picture of both the story «Snail on the Slope» and the entire work of A.N. and B.N. Strugatsky.
