KALLISTRAT FOKICH. OF WHOSE HOST IS THE WARRIOR? (A REFLECTION ON THE NAMING OF ONE CHARACTER IN V.I. BELOV'S "THE SIXTH HOUR" TRILOGY)
The study of the functions of the characters’ names in the V.I. Belov’s "The Sixth Hour" trilogy allows you to identify special authorial techniques in choosing proper names. The genre of the trilogy (chronicle) predetermined not only the use of a large number of names, but also the inclusion of the names of real historical figures in the text. The author enhances the "speaking" nature of real names of the executive officers of the 1920-1930s by including special names-symbols in the text for some fictional characters.
