The article deals with a study of Mikhail Burbonov’s literary mask in parody works of D.D. Minaev, namely in his parodies on falsely accusative and pseudo-patriotic poetry of the second part of the XIX century. The article studies six parodies («Литературные ополченцы», «Демократов с давних пор…», «Ви-льяму Шекспиру от Михайла Бурбонова», «Дуэт», «Жизнь наша вроде плац-парада…», «Литературные попытки Михаила Бурбонова»), means of creation of parody effect, among which a special place was devoted to the literary mask of the retired major Burbonov. The fictional officer-writer is a collective character of poets and writers that Minaev parodied. In this way the satirist summarized their works in the character of M. Burbonov, demonstrated its absurdity and superficiality as well as was able to express more freely his civic and literary position without censorship. Besides Minaev used the following parody techniques: exaggeration, hyperbole, irony, literal quoting of the original, opposition of high and low vocabulary, self-exposure of the author
