Abstract
The paper considers the types and features of neosyncretic subject in the compositions of A. Bashlachev. Neosyncretic subject is a form of subject organisation manifested in the absence of clear boundaries between the bearer of a point of view, the subject of action and the bearer of speech. The article analyses Bashlachev’s texts in which the lyrical subject is uncertain. The same pronoun “I” or “we” can denote different subjects, as well as it can transcend time and space, alienating itself in two hypostases. That instability of the subject is the result of the non-divisibility and non- mergerability of the author and the hero.
