Abstract

This research opens a uniqueness of M. Rudenko's play "At the bottom of the sea" in the history of the
Ukrainian dramatic art, indicates communication of the tragedy with works of the period of a socialist realism.
Connection to the tragedy on ideological, imaginative, story and emotional level with works of Vs. Vishnevsky, M.
Kulish, M. Hvil’ovii, O. Solzhenitsyn is exposed. This enables to widen scientific understanding of literary and
artistic processes in the totalitarian Soviet Union.
It is established that the play is a bright art judgment of history of the Ukrainian people of the 30-60-s of the
XX century and the literary document that diagnoses a number of conflict zones in communistic society. The
emphasis is placed on the author's skill who managed to disguise the anti-Soviet play under socialist realism
canons and to achieve its statement by the Kiev academic theater of I. Franko. It is proved that tragedy played not
just notable, but prominent role in the history of Ukrainian dramaturgy. From its inception until today it is on the
edge of ideological and aesthetic art search.
