Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the role and participation of the Russian noble estate as a way of life in the formation of personality on the material of the Vladimir Nabokov’s autobiographical prose. In the literary space of the writer’s texts the world of the Russian estate appeared as one of the key symbols of Russia, as a lost value and an integral part of Russian culture, literature, philosophy, history, necessary for self-identification, self-knowledge and self-preservation.
