Ivan Kublakhanov (Russian: «Иван Кублаханов») is a short story by Victor Pelevin, published in 1994.

[5] Having a traditional Russian name Ivan, the last name of the hero of the story - Kublakhanov refers to Coleridge's poem "Kubla Khan: or, A Vision in a Dream: A Fragment".

From the moment when time appears, the experience of the future Ivan Kublakhanov has been accumulated in relation to the surrounding world.

After awakening from the dream (physical death), and finding himself in his true reality, the hero forgets that he was once Ivan Kublakhanov.

[9] After being in the human form and the cessation of material existence, Ivan Kublakhanov is absorbed into the primordial, unformed inner consciousness, which in its turn becomes the new Koblakhan.
