Abstract
The article analyzes the political factors that conditioned teхtological specificity of the novel “Dvenadtsat stuliev” by Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov. It considers the polemics of the grouping of the party elite led by Stalin and the so-called leftist opposition, led by Lev Trotsky. The most large-scale censorship seizures in the novel editions of 1928–1961 are characterized. It is established that the journalistic component, relevant to the beginning of the preparation of the journal publication, was minimized by the editors in the post-Stalin era.
