Abstract
In the modern Russian writer Yuri Buida’s novel "Thief, Spy and Murderer" (2014), Christian discourse reveals itself at different levels of the text’s organization: genre (autobiography / confession), imaginative (marginal, mad / poor in spirit), motivic (imperfection of human nature / sin), plot (the hard way the son to the father / parable of the prodigal son) and others. On the one hand, Christian allusions in the novel are a manifestation of intertextual poetics, creating a cultural context for the perception of the postmodern text. On the other hand, the Christian "code" is the most relevant for the disclosure of the philosophical and psychological content of the novel, as in Christian categories expressed by the author's attitude to the leading cultural meanings of the era, to modern man, and to himself.
