Abstract. The article considers the author’s version of the classical story of Don Quixote of La Mancha represented in G. Chulkov’s tragicomedy "Don Quixote" (1935). The perception of Miguel de Cervantes’s eternal storyline in the Russian literature of the first post-revolutionary decades was conditioned by his universal ability to express conceptions for social life improvement. G. Chulkov interprets Cervantes’s story as a story of the main character’s sudden insight: in the Russian symbolist’s tragicomedy Don Quixote through the feeling to the earthly woman understands "Earthly Truth", beauty and harmony of earthly existence. The hero’s new world vision is interpreted by the writer as "true" Christianity, which "Silver Age" philosophers considered as a basis to improve existence.
