The paper analyses structures of proper names in Yevgeny Vodolazkin’s latest novel Opravdanie Ostrova (‘Apologia of the Island’, 2020). The implicative influence of the genre of fictional chronicle on nomina propria in the text is noted. The distribution of proper names types according to the functions they perform, as well as the ways how proper names are in-troduced in the text, highlight some kind of a matrix structure of the novel onomasticon.
