Abstract
This article examines the work of Boris Sadovsky in the context of the history of literary hoaxes. The article shows the specificity of his solution to the problem of stylization in each case depending on the targeting of the hoax. It is revealed that a characteristic feature of Sadovsky's hoaxes is polemical and it is manifested in relation to writers whose ideology he did not share, such as Blok, Nekrasov, Stepniak-Kravchin: Blok, Nekrasov, Stepniak-Kravchinsky. Sadovsky's interest in hoaxes was to a certain extent determined by the vital creative ideas of the Art Nouveau culture. But in the main it was connected with the very peculiarities of his creative individuality the tendency to integrate into his artistic world the narrative and stylistic features of the Russian classics and various historical and cultural documents. The influence of Pushkin's aesthetics was conceptual for Sadovsky. Pushkin's laconic plots, Belkin's literary mask, the author's tradition of acting as publisher of his stories - all this was close to Sadovsky the artist. The formation of his creative personality was also influenced by his childhood fascination with A.K. Tolstoy as the creator of the mystified image of Kozma Prutkov. Sadovsky's arsenal of hoaxes includes five 'Blok's' texts (the most significant among them is 'Soldier's Tale'), poems by Yesenin, Nekrasov and Stepniak-Kravchinsky as well as 'memoirs' about Nekrasov and Stepniak-Kravchinsky. Letters to him by A.P. Chekhov and A.M. Gorky published by Sadovsky can also be included in this series. In the long term, some of the writer's other texts could be read from a hoax perspective
