Two Marinas (in V.Sorokin's novel "Tridzataya lyubov Mariny")

The article is devoted to the correlation between the text and intertext levels in V.Sorokin's novel "Tridzataya lyubov Mariny" ("Marina's thirtieth love"). It is proved that unlike the other author's works in this novel the level of content is dominant and organised due to the references to pretexts, forming polyphony. The pretexts of V.Sorokin's novel are the following: the hypertext of M.Tsvetaeva's creativity and biography, A.Platonov's story "Aphrodite" and the film "Alien".
