The article is devoted to the analysis of the motif-figurative paradigm of B. A. Pilnyak’s novel «The Volga Flows into the Caspian Sea». Particular attention is focused on the motif of “recurrence of phenomena”, its role in constructing the author’s model of the world, semantic load and methods of lexical objectification. It is investigated how the «law of recurence of phenomena» strengthens the composition of the novel, uniting events and characters, structures spatial loci, organizes the time continuum of the work, and objectifies the characters’ mental discourse.
