ABSTRACT.<\/strong> The paper compares two dramatic trilogies \u2014 \u00abScenes from the Past\u00bb by A. V. Sukhovo-Kobylin and the so called Balzaminov cycle by A. N. Ostrovsky (\u00abCelebratory Sleep Is That Before Dinner\u00bb, \u00abTwo Dogs Fight, the Third Keep Away\u00bb and \u00abWhatever You Look for, You’ll Find or Balzaminov\u2019s Marriage\u00bb). Written almost at the same time (from 1855 to 1869), the dramatic cycles are united by a common type of the hero \u2014 a seeker of rich brides, and also by the fact that the action in the first part of the Sukhovo-Kobylin trilogy and in all parts of the Ostrovsky Balsaminov cycle takes place in Moscow, which becomes a kind of off-stage character. Moscow in \u00abScenes from the Past\u00bb is contrasted with a village \/ estate (like any city) and St. Petersburg (a dispute between two capitals), evolves from the idea of it as a \u00abcity of eternal celebration and pleasure\u00bb (\u00abKrechinsky\u2019s Wedding\u00bb) to the place of \u00abeternal rest\u00bb (\u00abThe Trial\u00bb) and the wilderness (\u00abTarelkin\u2019s Death\u00bb). Moscow (or rather a part of it \u2014 Zamoskvorechye) of the Balsaminov cycle is constructed according to folklore models (primarily a fairy tale): the Zamoskvorechye space has no clear boundaries (except for the Moscow River) and specific addresses, cannot be accurately measured, does not have the ability to develop and change.<\/p>\n
