The concept of “restoration of time” in Vladimir Nabokov’s texts, viewing it through the lens of Henri Bergson’s philosophy is explored. According to Nabokov “time is essentially memory in the process of its unfolding”. Moreover, that memory itself is a dynamic and never-changing process. Therefore, the conventional notion that restoring the past is simply about retrieving previous “moments” does not hold true in Nabokov’s approach. As a result of studying the phenomenon, it is concluded that in Nabokov’s system the restoration of time (the past) should become the restoration of the very movement of our memories, constantly “flowing” to the present. The reconstruction of time (the past) should focus on capturing the very movement of our memories, which continuously flow from the past to the present. Bergson referred to this movement as the basis of “pure memory” phenomenon, understood as the constant pressure of memories on the present and as the essence of “duration”: genuine inner time, that cannot be divided into moments, but rather is an uninterrupted ever-growing stream of our impressions. Thus, the Bergson’s philosophy effectively addresses numerous Nabokovian issues, both peripheral and central.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Цель исследования - интерпретация идеи «восстановления времени», общей для текстов русского писателя Владимира Набокова и французского философа-интуитивиста Анри Бергсона. Предлагается истолкование мотива «восстановления времени» в текстах Владимира Набокова посредством философии Анри Бергсона. В художественной системе Владимира Набокова «время есть только память в процессе развития», а сама память представляет собой длящийся процесс и никогда не бывает статичной. В связи с этим традиционное представление о том, что реставрация прошлого представляет собой восстановление и запись предыдущих «мгновений», не может считаться релевантной для набоковской стратегии. По результатам изучения феномена делается вывод, что в системе Набокова восстановление времени (прошлого) должно становиться восстановлением самого движения наших воспоминаний, постоянно «приливающих» к настоящему. Динамику этого процесса Бергсон рассматривал как феномен «чистой памяти», понятого как постоянный «напор» воспоминаний на настоящее и как сущность «длительности»: подлинного внутреннего времени, неделимого на мгновения, непрерывно растущего и становящегося потоком наших впечатлений. Таким образом, бергсоновская философия справедливо претендует на объяснение и философское осмысление большого количества набоковедческих проблем, как периферийных, так и магистральных.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>memory</kwd><kwd>perception</kwd><kwd>utility</kwd><kwd>practice</kwd><kwd>utilitarianism</kwd><kwd>dream</kwd><kwd>duration</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>память</kwd><kwd>восприятие</kwd><kwd>польза</kwd><kwd>утилитаризм</kwd><kwd>греза</kwd><kwd>длительность</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Averin, B.A. (2003).
