From the standpoint of the synergy of the tragic and in line with the methods of the receptive aesthetics, structuralism, hermeneutics, the article deals with the unfinished drama by Venedikt Erofeev “Dissidents, or Fanny Kaplan”. The novelty of the study is that the drama under consideration has never been studied within the framework of objectification of meaning, specification of the lines of its reading, and the results provide the opportunity to supplement the verification of the style and language of Venedikt Erofeev, as well as to clarify a number of priorities for the development of the Russian postmodernism, the principles of the postmodern poetics. The issues of the author’s style, incomplete text, nomination of the author’s discourse are under consideration in the article.
