Abstract

The work deals with the development of the texts of "holy letters" and "letters of happiness" in the Russian-language tradition of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries as a system of texts placed in a complex communicative context. The same text can function (and be perceived in different groups) as a magical artifact, a sacred text / legend, a counterrevolutionary leaflet, a samizdat prayer, a child's play, etc. As letters from the manuscript collections of the Apocrypha come to the Internet and move from the situation of being in a limited local group to publication in the central mass media, the participants of the communication constantly correct it, basing both on their ideas about the pragmatics of this tradition and on the previous experience of interaction with the genre of "circular Letters ". In the work, one can trace the emergence of one of the most popular "holy letters" of the 1950-1980s and its transformation at all levels: genre, textual, actional, discursive, functional.
