By the beginning of the twenty-first century, death of a person becomes an iconic theme of an artistic reflection, and in the modern collective consciousness there is an idea of it as an ordinary phenomenon of life. A motive of death is one of the basic in R. Senchin’s works. It is manifested at a problematic level in the works “Zone of Flooding”, “The Eltyshevs”, “Live, Live”. The article analyzes a complex of moral motives associated with the understanding of death as a personal drama of a “little man” and as a traumatic experience of the current era in general. Senchin represents not only the drama of a family, a soul, but also predicts an apocalyptic end to the era that has forgotten the precepts of the past, traditions that have entered the path of degradation and death.
