Abstract
The article is dedicated to the analysis of the dramatic innovation of A.S. Griboedov in the comedy "Woe from Wit" (1824). Key innovations in structure, language, and satirical approach are examined, which distinguish the work from classical dramaturgy. Special attention is paid to the synthesis of comedic and tragic elements, the use of aphoristic verse, and the criticism of Russian society at the beginning of the 19th century. In the extended version of the article, an analysis of the influence of Griboedov's innovation on subsequent Russian literature has been added, as well as modern interpretations are considered. The analysis shows how Griboedov anticipated the development of realism in Russian literature, making the comedy relevant for modern interpretations of social conflicts. The article is intended for specialists in the field of philology and literary studies.
