Abstract. The article is devoted to the analysis of Gnostic motives in the novel by L. Leonov "The Pyramid", the central of which are: the idea of the world creation as a fatal mistake, the motive of secret knowledge (gnosis), the image of Sofia, the image of Demiurge. The paper shows the formation of a conceptually notional main body of the novel with the help of Gnostic motives, bringing out the historical realities at the level of metaphysical comprehension: the struggle of Good and Evil does not only explain the peculiarities of social development, but it also urges the search after the truth.
