Abstract
The present article considers transformation of monocracy motive in the anti-utopia novel «The Inhabited Island» by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. Unalterable characteristics of the motive are being emphasized through the canvas observed over connection with canonical anti-utopia texts and alteration of the word-picture. The author of the article suggests that the Strugatsky brothers strengthen the motive of monocracy in the novel by major breakthrough of its permanent attributes.
