V.V. Nabokov (1899-1977) is a Russian-born immigrant writer, familiar to all the world. After the Bolshevik regime in Russia, Nabokov is forced to leave his homeland at a young age and he never returns to Russia. His life continues in various cities in Europe and America. The famous writer focuses specifically on the death concept in early stories. Nabokov’s heroes depicted in these works, mostly immigrants, oppressed characters separated from their homes and are stuck between reality and dream world. The death is only way out for these pitiful destined heroes. For Nabokov the death is not an extinction, on the contrary, is a beginning to an unknown life. The writer does not address the purpose of the death and otherworldly dimension in these stories. In this paper, we analysed the concept of death in Nabokov’s Russian stories written 1924 and 1925.
