The article presents an analysis of the relationship with the Other in the works of L.D. Zinovieva-Annibal. The choice of this topic is determined primarily by the life-creating guideline of the writer, for whom it was especially important to realize and develop ideas in dialogue. The study is relevant for several reasons: firstly interest in the reassessment of the work of women writers from the point of view of feminist literary criticism is growing; secondly, there’s a need for modern man to search for new forms of dialogue and definition of his own subjectivity. The article traces how the relationship with the Other consistently unfolds from a dialogue in the love of two to sobornost. Based on the theoretical works of V. Ivanov, V. Solovyov and M. Buber the article also describes the specificity of the embodiment of the category of sobornost (collegiality) in the artistic consciousness of Zinovyeva-Annibal who sought to overcome individualism both in everyday life and in art. At the same time, the author describes the artistic techniques used in the writer's texts within the framework of this embodiment (theatricality as a religious act based on the synthesis of antique and Christian symbols; dialogical nature of writing, multilevel mirror metaphor, destruction of the author's subjectivity). The above mentioned techniques and aspects are considered on the example of the following works: the drama "Rings" (1904), the story "Thirty-three Ugly Things" (1907), the short story "Help You! Delirium in red pencil" from the collection "No!" (published posthumously in 1918 by Vyach. Ivanov)
