Embodiment of vivifying onset by archaism of laugh in M. Bulgakov's novel «White Guard»

In this scientific article we consider interdependence of symbols of «red» and «sphere» with the laugh in the mythological context of Bulgakov's novel. The colour is very important in this novel. All tints of «red» (ginger, golden) are characteristic to kindhearted heroes (they are female images). Elena and Julya affirm the life, they rescue, they have alive, renewal smiles. The symbol of «sphere» in Bulgakov's novel designate the eternity and peace and kindness. The harmony in the novel is personified not simply by the child, but by round as a sphere laughing boy. Laugh connected with the «sphere» carries the sense of winning onset. There are not many laughing heroes in the novel, but all of them with symbols of «red» and «sphere» are the means of embodiment of positive onset in the Universe.
