Abstract
The article explores the multi-layered nature of the short story «Gambrinus» by A. I. Kuprin, which is represented by the profane and sacred spheres in their relationship. To this end, the author considers biblical symbols as a deep coding device and an important mechanism of cultural memory. The methods of comparative and associative analysis are used. The article draws parallels between biblical images and the main character of the story. In her conclusions, the author relies on the ideosphere of A. I. Kuprin, primarily on his religious and prosaic experience.
