There remains only a vague image of some abstracted, generalized elements of the strongest visual impression, remaining from the overall scene. This is the track left by the darting skis upon the white blanket of snow. Abstracted and generalized, it becomes simply a pattern of black lines traversing a white surface. And whatever particular, concrete forms this abstract 'pattern' assumes, it always arouses the emotional shock which the scene itself had once produced on him. This agitation, moreover, is so strong that the entire psychological mechanism is directed towards preventing any image of the real scene, which the consciousness and memory of the patient attempt to displace by any means, from becoming a distinct, conscious concept.
69 It is the detective story. I am writing during the evacuation. Far away in the heart of Asia. In the Kazakh city of Alma-Ata. And though I'm set up fairly comfortably, life on my writing desk is a bit crowded and cramped. It sags under a pile of notes on innumerable and just-begun investigations of various problems, from which I tear off these pieces of meat. It is piled high with countless script notes and shot sketches for Ivan the Terrible, which has just entered production. Som~times a necktie snakes among them, discarded in a moment of inspiration.
In the process of the tranSItion from riddle to solution, there is reproduced the sa~e cultural-historical shift which mankind made when passmg from the stage of prelogical thought to logical thought-that same shift which eternally repeating, is accomplished anew by each ~enerati~n in the development of each individual human consciousness. This is the pervading and sole plot throughout the wealth of contemporary novels with a riddle-detective novels. Hence their amazing efficacy. For any detective novel, regardless of its story, is for every reader above all a novel about himself: about what happened to the ;eader as a'human individual in general; as an individual developing from a child into an adult; as a living being who experiences continuous transitions 'there and back', from layer to layer of consciousness.
