Since the 1980s, Kharmsa has been under the close attention of researchers studying various aspects of his poetics. This interest is explained both by the originality of the writer's work, and the position in the literary process of the first third of the twentieth century. Harms contributed to the birth of the Russian underground-and at the same time during his lifetime was published as an exclusively children's writer. His "adult" prose was not published during his lifetime. The relevance of the study is the need to study the cycle "Cases", since this work is a complex and multidimensional work with hidden meanings that have not yet been investigated. In addition, it is extremely important to study the issue of the end-to-end plot in the cycle. The novelty of the research lies in the disclosure of new aspects of the plot-the reflection in the narrative of the socio-political realities of the 1930s. Object of research: features of D. I.
