Abstract. The article is devoted to the study of the Christmas time structure in Isaac Babel’s "Red Cavalry". The "transitivity" and the closure of the time image in the cycle are revealed. The structural model, which determines the chronotope of the Red Cavalry novels, is Christmastide. The campaign of the Red Cavalry is regarded as an organized procession of mummers, interspersed with "farce events". Such a festive time model can be applied to other works about the Civil War, and also partially explains the general cultural situation in 1917-1922.
