Summary/Abstract: In a given article the issue of Remembrance – recollection in reference to identity, in that particular case, of several women, reveals an obvious author’s attempt to define a wide range of matters of ontological, axiological and epistemological, cultural and philosophical nature. At the same time the selection of characters is not accidental. These are primarily unique heroines, artists, human beings of the world of ideas. Preservation of memory about them, in the case of Ulitskaya, consists in enumerating such components of their biography, character traits etc. which make them unique in the context of the whole epoch actually shaping their character. Thus, Ulitskaya’s intention to incorporate all the constituents of their spiritual and physical life into immortalisation has proved to be successful.
