Abstract
The article analyzes the new memoir narratives discovered in the writer's archive. Thematically and stylistically, they carry on the tradition of Remizov's 1950s essays on the Dead Souls, based on the literary analysis of the classic's style as construed in Andrei Bely's book Gogol's Mastership (1934). In both essays, a hyperbolized symbol, representing the «grain» of the character's image, forms a lyrical plot that shapes itself around it. The drafts of the essays about N. Berdyaev and V. Lebedev preserved in the writer's notebooks testify to the beginning of a new stage of Remizov's creative career as a memoirist.
