Abstract. The paper reveals specificity of artistic interpretation of religious and philosophical problems in the novel "The Ant Tsar" by the Russian-language writer of Uzbekistan Sukhbat Aflatuni. The novel is examined in terms of the neo-mythological artistic system. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that Aflatuni’s novel is for the first time subjected to a mytho-poetical analysis with a view to reveal its religious and philosophical meaning. The research findings are as follows: the author identifies elements of neo-mythological poetics, discovers specificity of eschatological problematics, reveals the main idea of the novel - everybody, regardless of nationality and faith, can achieve moral ideal, it’s a difficult path of spiritual purification.
Key words and phrases: роман-притча, религиозно-философское начало, неомифологизм, геронты (бессмертные), Чистилище, novel-parable, religious and philosophical element, neo-mythologism, geronts (immortals), Purgatory
