NCandidate of Philology, Associate Professor of the Department of Philology-Bashkir State University (Branch in Birsk)150620205131026112021Copyright © 2020, Bezrukov A.N.2020The verges of the newest Russian prose today are formed rather arbitrarily. Researchers are not interested in this period, therefore, work in this direction can be in demand, as it supports a scientific dialogue in a wide mass of critical observations. The article, using the example of small forms of Dina Rubina, examines the specifics of the organization of the plot canvas, analyzes the imagery of the text, decodes the artistic conflict. It is worth noting that an analysis of the aesthetics of Dina Rubina, as well as an assessment of the narration of her texts is an effective, quite productive toolkit for understanding the essence of the latest literature. The relevance and novelty of the work lies in the use of the not so often considered collection of short stories by Dina Rubina - “Master-tarabuka”. In our opinion, it is in this book that the base of the poetic forms of Rubin is concentrated, the basic methods of creating artistic reality are verified in it. The world of Dina Rubina is different from the so-called women's prose of the late XX - early XXI century - this is Lyudmila Petrushevskaya, Victoria Tokareva, Tatyana Tolstaya, Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Guzel Yakhina. In our opinion, Rubin’s skill in the ability to competently combine literary forms, to combine a number of contrasting positions in an interesting plot, to include the peripetia element as a sign of the denouement of artistic conflict. Substitution of the plot for the writer is not only an end in itself, but also an effective marker of promising reception. The interpretation of small forms by Ruby allows us to determine the range of topics and current problems of the modern world. Time, space, social distance, tragic and comic limits - this is all that works to create an artistic code in the new conditions. The collection “Master-tarabuka” is a conceptual model of connected events, a form of determination of the ontological essence of man. For Dina Rubina, the search for an alternative truth is always in tune with a series of trials that fell to the lot of heroes. At the same time, the title character extrapolates the plot that happened to him, both to the second-order heroes and the potential reader. Life in Rubin’s stories is valuable in itself; an event layer is an axiological projection. The conclusion that the recipient can make is, of course, individual. The result is not like the others, but it is extremely concerned with serious problems of a metaphysical order. Small forms of Ruby condense the essential truth of life, they have a lot of natural, aesthetically correct. The article indicates that the semantic paradigm of the collection “Master-tarabuka” is close to the type of rhizome. The expansion and increase in connotations occurs due to ups and downs, substitution of subjects, literary, cultural paraphrases, reminiscences, allusions. The conclusion testifies to the peculiar manner of Dina Rubina, the writer’s ability to combine the classical version of poetics with the techniques of the modernist order.new Russian prosestoryDina RubinaMaster-tarabukaperipeteiaploteventartistic conflictaesthetics of readingparadigm of significanceновейшая русская прозарассказДина РубинаМастер-тарабукаперипетиясюжетслучайхудожественная коллизияэстетика чтенияпарадигма смысла[Античная трагедия / Эсхил, Софокл, Еврипид.
