Abstract.<\/em><\/strong> The relevance of this study is due to the need to understand the uniqueness of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn\u2019s poetics and aesthetics, which differ from classical realistic writing. The article analyzes an important feature of Solzhenitsyn\u2019s artistic method \u2014 the inseparable connection between its factual and artistic material. Based on The Gulag Archipelago <\/em>as an experiment in literary investigation, various ways of combining the two aspects are shown and their functions are explained. The authors of the article argue that factual material (the history and truth of the Gulag) relates to the goal (\u201cto open the mouths of the Gulag\u201d), while artistic material relates to all methods of presenting \u201cfactual (unaltered) life material.\u201d The authors of the article follow the writer\u2019s direct statements, as he repeatedly explained to journalists how \u201cthe material dictates\u201d both the form and the methods of presenting the truth of history and memory in the text, aimed at the reader\u2019s attention and understanding. The textual levels at which Solzhenitsyn\u2019s method in The Gulag Archipelago<\/em> is specifically traced include the general narrative, but also the specific headings, the composition of each chapter and the overall structure of the book, inserted fragments (\u201ctext within text\u201d), and \u201clyrical digressions.\u201d The methods of combining factual and artistic material characteristic of Solzhenitsyn, presented in this study, are self-metadescription, rhetorical apostrophes, dialog with the reader; satire, irony, nominations, personification, metonymy, anthropomorphic images; portrait, comparison, parallelism; the cinema screen technique, stylistic techniques. The authors believe that the historical and metaphysical significance of The Gulag Archipelago<\/em> is primarily determined by the personality of its author \u2014 a \u201cyoung apprentice under God\u2019s heaven.\u201d The materials of the study can be used in studies of A. I. Solzhenitsyn\u2019s creative method and in of the peculiarities of Russian literature in the second half of the 20th century.<\/p>\n
