Abstract
On the one hand, we compare the textual version of Y. Bondarev’s novel “Choice” with the visual version – an adaptation of the novel by director V. Naumov, the comparison has begun in previous published works, on the other hand, we comprehend the spiritual and moral content of this work, in particular, through such a key component of Russian literature as the mask. Its metaphysical essence is revealed, we give the statements of Russian religious thinkers in this connection. We consider some key characters of the novel – Ilya Ramzin, Vladimir Vasiliev, Maria. We also trace the novel characters thoughts about coming tragic apostasy of being and of civilization processes tragedy as a whole in the spiritual and moral aspect. This connects with the concept “masquerade” and also has a deeper, cultural and axiological significance, we consider it connected to some traditions and predictions by F.M. Dostoevsky.
