| description | The article identifi es the reasons for Fyodor Dostoevsky’s appeal to
the traditions of Old Russian literature in “A Writer’s Diary” during the
Russian-Turkish war. One of the main reasons is seeking for national
foundations of Russian spirituality. The writer learned the world of medieval
literacy getting acquainted with hagiography, walking, spiritual eloquence.
Later Dostoevsky reverted to the Old Russian monuments in the course of his
work on the novel “The Brothers Karamazov” (in particular on the chapter
“Th e Russian Monk”). As follows from the comparison of the texts the
dominant qualities of the ideal image of a Russian saint are repentance,
humility and suff ering, desire for purifi cation, spiritual ability to resist the
evil. The ideal form of existence of Russian people becomes conciliarism. The
type of historicism is the movement to the Last Judgment. Gospel allusions
and metaphors reinforce the author’s interpretation. Th us, Dostoevsky carries
on the dialogue with the evangelical word at an ideological, imaginative,
genre, motive and narrative level of the text. Th e hallmark of the works of
Fyodor Dostoevsky who followed the evangelical tradition, becomes a
dialogical word. |
