Examples of the mythologems of Soviet culture are given, which are used by A. Ivanov to debunk the ideal image of the Soviet era. The mythologemes blood, ideological affinity are one of such means. The article also presents the possibilities provided by the studied mythopoetic elements. Mythologemes, introduced into the artistic world of the novel, which reflects vampirism, act here as a kind of tool that allows you to introduce a philosophical layer into the novel and stop considering "Pischeblok", as a work of exclusively mass literature.</p>мифологемаобраз советской действительностиАлексей Ивановмассовая культуравампиризмmythologemimage of soviet realityAlexey Ivanovmass culturevampirism
