- Abstract
The article deals with the image of a woman presented in A. I. Solzhenitsyn’s epic novel «The Red Wheel». Since the latter is devoted to the military and revolutionary events of 1914–1917, the theme of the feminine in its socio-cultural context acquires a target value for constructing the national tradition of culture, as well as a unified cultural and philosophical model of A. I. Solzhenitsyn’s work. In the novel, the pre-revolutionary woman is represented by the images of her mother, companion and faithful assistant to her husband; while in the post-revolutionary period, a «new woman» appears in public life, symbolizing gender equality, an active life position, and independence in decision-making. The above change in the content of the feminine reflects the deep socio-political and cultural processes and breakdowns that shook Russia at the beginning of the 20th century
