Object of the essay: Pushkin’s essay «I ty tut byl…» (1835) («And you were here…»). Subject of the essay: the semantic function of anagrams. Purpose of the research: finding the anagrams conveying the hidden meaning of the text. Results: the author argues that the letter-sound pattern of the essay contains the anagrams of Pushkin’s name and nicknames. Field of application: literary criticism. Conclusion: anagrammatic structures encrypt the meaning of the text. The theme of the riddle is a central part of the hidden semantic content of the essay. The answer to the riddle – the name of the poet himself – is encoded in the anagrams.
