The paper is devoted to consideration of conceptions of P.N. Berkov, G.N. Moiseeva, A.A. Smirnov about pre-classicism: what period the researchers characterized as «pre-classicism», what writers they include into pre-classicism. Basing on this material the author makes conclusions about main features of pre-classicism and theories of 1950 - 1970-s years that claim the existence of pre-classicism.
