The convergence of chance and Providence was common in the literature of the eighteenth and first decades of the nineteenth centuries, however, Pushkin poses this problem in a historiosophical context. Pushkin’s aphorism «Chance, the mighty, instant instrument of Providence» had a number of parallels in French literature, including the works of conservative publicists of the 1800-1820 s. The opinion that Pushkin is polemicizing here with French historians of the Restoration era is not sufficiently substantiated. The expression «formula of history», which plays an important role in Pushkin’s notes, belongs to french traditionalist P.S. Ballanche, but the concept of «providential hasard», introduced by Ballanche, to Pushkin, apparently, was not known. The article also considers the most famous aphorisms from the close semantic series: «Chance is a nickname for Providence» (N. Chamfort), «Chance is the pseudonym of God» (T. Gautier) etc.

Analysis of Marina Tsvetaeva’s statements in her letters, diaries, memoirs of her contemporaries as well as a biography and works of a Norwegian writer Sigrid Undset (Nobel prize, 1928) proves that both authors, despite all national, cultural differences, were people of “the same kind”, “the same breed” (Tsvetaeva), they were marked with the same seal - genius and karmic tragedy. In 1930, being in France, Tsvetaeva read (in German translation) Undset’s epic trilogy “Kristin, Lavransdaughter” (1920-1922) which became “her favourite book” for life. Tsvetaeva’s attitude towards Undset reveals her attitude to literature as an existential sphere of human experience, as a saving source of life.

The article is a brief biography of Valentin Nikolaevich Voloshinov from the standpoint of his participation in the Bakhtin circle and publications under his own name of a number of Bakhtin’s works, which began with the critical article “Beyond the Social Principle” (1925), continued by the theoretical article “Discourse in life and discourse in poetry” (1926), books “Freudianism. A Critical Sketch” (1927) and “Marxism and the Philosophy of Language. Fundamental Problems of the Sociological Method in the Science of Language” (1929) and which completed by several papers in 1930. Additional arguments are given in favor of an earlier acquaintance between Bakhtin and Voloshinov than was commonly believed in the 1990 s, and a special interpretation of the episode with Voloshinov in the memoirs of O.M. Freidenberg is put forward.

The article deals with the evolution of the system of actants in Moliere’s comedy. The author of the article shows that throughout the entire body of Moliere’s work, the diversity of plots arises due to the fact that the playwright combines elements of various types of comedy in each play, primarily elements of Italian comedy (both sophisticated and commedia dell’arte) and French farce. At the same time, the characters not only realize the functions of the actants described by V. Propp and A.Zh. Greimas for fairy-tale and more broadly - narrative plots, but they are also endowed with features of the farcical types of “rogue” or “simpleton”. Playing with the plot scheme of the farce and the Italian comedy, Moliere freely combines the functions of various actors in the main characters of each play, either actualizing the well-known plot schemes or destroying them. Moliere’s favorite element of the plot scheme remains the denouement, which arises due to a happy accident, since its other types, in his opinion, are unable to lead to a happy ending.

The article is devoted to the attitude of L.N. Tolstoy to the position of the Russian peasantry and post-reform rural life, which was vividly reflected in the novel «Anna Karenina». The searches of the central hero Levin are close to the activities of those representatives of the educated part of Russian society in the 1870 s who were not indifferent to the fate of the masses. These include the essays «From the Village» - 12 letters of the economist, agronomist, educator A.N. Engelhardt, highly regarded by Tolstoy.

Any boom calls forth a backlash and a trashing - and Bakhtin has been trashed often, for many reasons. In this article I consider the recent biography of Bakhtin written by Aleksei Korovashko in the history of anti-Bakhtinistics, and attempt to evaluate the “Korovashko tactic”: where, in my view, it goes wrong, and what lessons we might learn from it in light of Bakhtin’s teaching (especially his theory of love). I then discuss two more productive approaches to criticizing Bakhtin: one devoted to Bakhtin and the body (Dick McCaw), the other to Bakhtin and the spirit (Mikhail Epstein).

For the first time letters from B.K. Zaytsev to E.D. Kuskova are introduced into scientific usage. The publication allows to clarify the details of the biographies of both correspondents. The letters illustrate Kuskova’s productive care of Russian emigrant writers who received scholarships from the “Russian Action” headed by the Czech Government. The correspondence contains estimates of the largest Russian emigrant newspapers “Vozrozhdenie” and “Poslednie Novosti” as well as their editorial policy. Some letters reflect the polemic of the two correspondents about the role of Maxim Gorky in the creation of the All-Russian Committee for Helping the Starving (Pomgol). Some details of the celebrations on the occasion of the presentation of the Nobel Prize to Ivan Bunin are also specified.
