The article deals with the specific features of creating the anti-utopian fiction metapoetics in the Russian literary process at the turn of the XX century. The article identifies text structures (invariable and variable), which determine the possibility of talking about the metapoetics of anti-utopia and distinguish between the categories of “meta-narration” and “reflection/metareflexion”. The authors describe textual “world-like structures” and codes correlated with the works of Vladimir Odoevsky and Russian symbolists with pronounced anti-utopian meta-narration (Andrei Bely and Dmitry Merezhkovsky), with the invariant genre of “anti-utopian novel” (Yevgeny Zamyatin), and with the reflexive models variants of anti-utopia in the stories of Andrei Platonov.

The article emphasizes the innovations of the authors’ artistic anti-utopian mythological models in the system of genre and extra-genre coordinates, representing neomifological tendencies
