Russian postmodernism, literary discourse, text, concept, frame, author, reader, meaning, Tatyana Tolstaya, language, author’s style. 

The study focuses on the analysis of the Russian postmodernism. The aim of this work is the establishment of artistic image techniques which make up the semantics of the story by T. Tolstaya «Women’s day». Structural, cognitive, receptive approaches are the methodological basis of the research. The specificity of the postmodern text is the suggestion of the concepts, frame and mental schemes. This suggestion forms the paradigm of the reader’s judgment. The postmodern model of «Women’s day» is created within the boundaries of cultural and historical matrix of the language. The work complements the analysis of the Russian postmodernism and focuses on the prospect of studying the new aspects of this trend.
