Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the phenomenon of the literary remake, which was mainly touched by the Russian literature in the recent years. The vast majority of this type of literary work provokes paying closer attention not only to the reasons but also to the consequences of this phenomenon. The researchers have been having a sceptical approach towards remakes, and even if they do mention remakes among the border genres, seldom do they find them worthy a more thorough study. Concerning the dramaturgy as such, the remake-plays characteristics are listed (in which the signals of the new literary genre are noticeable), the differences between the remake and the rest of the literary genres, and last but not least the doubtful aspects of the remake as a literary genre. Finally, I will try to answer the question if it is possible to accept the remake as a real new genre of the Russian dramaturgy
