Abstract. The article for the first time considers S. D. Dovlatov’s story "Pushkin Hills" in the context of "estate topos". The paper aims to examine the author’s interpretation of a museum-preserve image. Relying on the materials describing museum activity in the 1970s, the researcher reveals causes and specificity of Dovlatov’s myth-making, shows complicated optics of mythologization (personal, museum, estate) and highlights peculiarities of everyday life of a museum-preserve, which is simultaneously an object of artistic research and a product of artistic imagination. By the material of the story, diversified approaches to museum-estate space arrangement are analysed.
