The article considers the intertextuality of the story of S. Dovlatov “The Reserve” and installed and pushkin’s and postpushkin’s connections and allusions. The intertexteme “Pushkin’s Reservation” initially programs the explication of literary-oriented ties and parallels, the extra-textual allusions and reminiscences, as well as inner-textual references and citations. Consequently, it updates the notion of “Mikhaylov Text”, primarily setting the grounds for numerous literary inductions that are to emerge in Dovlatov’s text and oriented (above all) to A. S. Pushkin’s creative activities. This constitutes the principal objective of the paper under studies. Among the pretexts to Dovlatov named Pushkin’s “Eugene Onegin”, “Belkin story”, “Dubrovsky”, “Stone guest”, “Captain’s daughter”, “I loved you...”, “Andrew Chenier”, “Again I visited...”, “I erected a monument to himself miraculous...” and others. However, as shown in the article, the mosaic of the pretexts of “The Reserve” is much wider and richer. Postpushkin’s pretexts in the work designated by the names of I. Goncharov (“Oblomov”), A. Blok (“The Stranger”, etc.), A. Solzhenitsyn (“Matryona”), V. Shukshin (“Cut”), V. Erofeeva (“Moscow – Petushki”), V. Piecuch (“The Life of a scoundrel”), novels by I. Il’f and E. Petrov (“Twelve chairs”, “Golden calf”) and others. The work concludes that the interpretation of the intertext in the novel by Dovlatov allows you to enter more capacious literary allusions and parallels, set the semantic synchrony between different texts of classic and modern literature.
