| Abstracts: | This study is devoted to the analysis of the suggestive function in the poetry of A. S. Pelevin. The aim of the research is to identify and analyze specific poetic devices (counting formulas, three-part composition, ritual negations) that realize the suggestive function in the poems of Aleksandr Sergeevich Pelevin, and to determine how these devices transform the word into an instrument for constructing new realities. The material of the study comprises the poems “I Count One, I Count Two”, “A Soldier Walked, a Soldier Fell”, and “There Will Be No End of the World”, which prominently feature the characteristics of incantatory and magical poetics. The methodological basis of the research includes the works on the theory of suggestion (L. N. Murzin, I. Yu. Cherepanova, I. A. Avdeenko), the works of the magical function of language (P. A. Florensky, J. Austin), as well as the works on folk poetics (A. N. Afanasyev, S. M. Tolstaya). The results of the analysis show that the suggestive function in Pelevin’s poetry is realized through a synthesis of performative incantation and structural models of folk charms. Using examples from the poems, it is demonstrated how these devices shape the banishment of fear, a ritual of transition, or the magical negation of catastrophe. The conclusions of the study allow us to assert that the suggestive function in Pelevin’s work manifests itself not in description, but in the active construction of a new reality through incantatory speech, which creates a prophetic effect in his texts, where the word acts as a performative act of establishing a different world order.
