In this article intertexual relations between the works by Pasternak and Pushkin are observed on the examples of the poems «The Gypsies» and «The Bronze Horseman» by Pushkin and the early poetic works by Pasternak. Pasternak’s series «The Theme with the variations» includes a large number of characters by Pushkin. In «The Gypsies» Pushkin speaks about the attempt of man’s return to the spontaneous primeval world, Pasternak repeats this idea in «The Theme with the variations» and writes about the malignity of returning to the nature and the revival of the low-lying wild instincts.
