This thesis is dedicated to the work of one of the most brilliant representatives of the Soviet (Russian) literature of the past decades---Chinges Aitmatov. / In this thesis I concentrate on Aitmatov's short stories which I consider to be one of the most important aspects of his work. / What is so particular about Aitmatov's short stories? How does he manage to condense in his short stories such a deep meaning such a refined and sensitive world of heroes, together with the very essence of being? His pure and sometimes naive stories characterized by deep philosophical thought lead us to ponder over both contemporary and eternal problems of humanity and cultural consciousness. / I will be analyzing a few short stories which, in my opinion, best reflect how perfectly Aitmatov mastered the art of shaping material into an original text with peculiar structure and plot. / My work consists of an introduction, three chapters and conclusion where I define in detail the concepts of "structure", "plot", "fable" and other elements of prose, architechtonics, material organization, etc., and how these concepts are treated in Aitmatov's short stories.
