The article is devoted to the analysis of Igor Irtenyev’s poem “Plot in the Gloom” (1989): it is an autoreferential text imitating the process of its creation. But at the same time, the poem, which contains the traces of everyday speech and a spectacular collage of allu sions to textbook works of literary classics, undermines all the pathos of literariness and, in fact, nullifies it. Lexical repetitions and circular composition wittingly represent walking in a vicious circle, stomping in place, wandering in the dark — which can be projected onto the socio-cultural situation of the late Soviet era and the “Brezhnev generation” of the un derground. Poems by Sergei Mikhalkov (1958) and Daniil Kharms (1936) are emphasized as direct formal analogues of Irteniev’s small masterpiece.
