The paper is devoted to Igor Mel'cuk's theory of zero lexemes and its applications in typology. The author accepts Mel'cuk's analysis of Modern Russian where postulating zero lexemes in the subject position is the best solution, but argues that some claims have to be modified if one turns to broader typological data. The notion of zero lexemes can be introduced into other formal theories.
