abstract="The purpose of this study is to analyse the role of &quot;death&quot; in Doktor Zhivago. In novels, there are various forms of deaths (death from illness, murder, suicide, etc.), even &quot;fake deaths&quot;. However, death in Doktor Zhivago is not at all tragic but rather contributes to establishing an atmosphere of affirming life. In this manner, death fulfils an important function in the plot/story, and thus there may be an establishment of cycles of &quot;death/life/resurrection&quot;. In Pasternak's world, the border between life and death, eternity and moment, and god and human disappears and resurrection enters into a close relation with memory, and through this, religious and philosophical characteristics are reinforced in the work. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.<p /><p>Language: ru</p>",
