Summary/Abstract: Druzhnikov’s satiric art is closely connected with the Slavic satirical tradition, mainly with Gogol, Saltikov-Shchedrin, Bulgakov, Ilf and Petrov, Zoshchenko, and Babel. His satire includes exaggeration and grotesque, a complex literary structure which has been studied by numerous academics all over the world. We should bear in mind that Druzhnikov’s books are likely to be treated differently in various places and languages.
