The article raises the issue of L. N. Tolstoy’s creative assimilation of the themes, discoveries and artistic images of N. V. Gogol. Referring mainly to the late period of the writers’ work, the author indicates the parallelism of their path. Tolstoy felt the similarity of philosophical and artistic complexities that confronted him and his predecessor, at a certain moment he admitted that he was following Gogol, “our Pascal.” It is noted that Tolstoy’s great interest in “Selected Passages from Correspondence with Friends” in the late 1880s forced him to rethink Gogol’s work, and turn to the poem “Dead Souls” to find a harmonious pairing of denunciation of modern vices with the thought of the timeliness of repentance and the joy of the coming Resurrection. The article makes a significant comparison of the landlords from Gogol’s poem “Dead Souls” and the officials from Tolstoy’s novel “Resurrection,” it is noted that against the background of the general satirical manner of narration in the poem and the epic novel, the writers turned to the difficult conditions for the survival of the Russian people, from the position of which everything that happens in their artistic worlds is estimated.

The article justifies the representation of Goncharov’s temple-related tetralogy, which includes “A Common Story”, “Oblomov”, “The Precipice” and “Frigate ‘Pallada’”. Temple-related and liturgic principles of the tetralogy are defined as the measure of its structural and conceptual integrity. Paths of heroes in the novels under discussion lie within the “temple-related model” and should be evaluated in line with the axiology of this model. The storyline associated with Alexander Aduev is considered as “vulgar travel”, “pseudo-pilgrimage” to Saint-Petersburg, the city which became “Russian Europe”. The novel “Frigate ‘Pallada’” focuses on the peculiar “narrative” status of the hero, and this focus allows to combine “inner” and “extra” storylines. The novel highlights certain changes in paths of hero who moves backward to “the great Motherland” instead of moving forward to “the progress”. Concerning the novel “Oblomov”, one can notice that this writing justifies the point associated with “dynamics” of the hero’s “interior life” who travels inside and reorients himself from the West to the East. The article considers “The Precipice” (“Obryv”) as Goncharov’s most “pedalogical” novel with its focus on “Russian brinks”. Boris Raisky ran the gamut from an amateur artist to the artist — “man of the soil”. The novel emphasizes the significance of territories of “provincial Russia” struggling to “heal misguided paths” and to eliminate “precipices” of Russian History.

The article is devoted to the issue of A. N. Ostrovsky’s patron saint, practically unexplored in literature. Traditionally, his patron saint is believed to be the holy blessed Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky. The basis for this correlation is the day of August 30. On this day the relics of Alexander Nevsky were transferred from Vladimir to St. Petersburg, and on the same day Alexander Ostrovsky necessarily celebrated his name day in his estate of Shchelykovo. The author of the article draws attention to the fact that the holy Reverend Alexander Svirsky was the closest saint to the time of Ostrovsky’s christening, and the future playwright could be named in his honor. The circumstances accompanying the acquisition of the name Alexander are noted: a letter from the playwright to his uncle, priest P. F. Ostrovsky, some significant characteristics from the biography of this relative. The author compares episodes from the life, canon and acathistus of St. Alexander Svirsky, and then Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky with the life and work of Ostrovsky. As a result, the author concludes that Reverend Alexander Svirsky may well be considered Ostrovsky’s patron saint. Nevertheless, this conclusion does not exclude controversy.

The author of the article, pointing to the definitions of the novel Eugene Onegin that are stable in scientific Pushkin studies — realistic, historical, philosophical, autobiographical and problematic — notes that the novel is full of mysticism, understanding by mysticism a belief in the existence of supernatural metaphysical forces, with which the heroes, and the author of the novel himself, are connected in a mysterious way. The article examines the reasons for Onegin’s spiritual crisis, which manifests itself in the worldview and behavior of the hero. Its most important features, named in the novel — deceit, hypocrisy, cynicism, idleness, a distorted idea of love, which is replaced by “the science of tender passion” — are considered in comparison with the texts of Holy Scripture. As a result, the author of the article comes to the conclusion that the state of the protagonist’s soul can be characterized as its “mortification” or “petrification”. “The disease, the cause of which should have been found long ago”, is connected not so much, perhaps, with life in the “pool of light” as with the loss of faith in God, “loss of oneself ” under the latent influence of demonic forces.

The article deals with the art reviews of F. M. Dostoevsky. Based on the analysis of the articles “Exhibition at the Academy of Arts for 1860–61” and “About the Exhibition” published in “A Writer’s Diary” for 1873, the aesthetic criteria for Dostoevsky’s assessment of genre, historical, portrait and landscape Russian painting are determined. The author of the article reveals the most important criteria outlined by Dostoevsky: the expression of the author’s ideal that distinguishes a painting from mirror reflection and photography; the artist’s independence from direction, excessive naturalness, theatricality and “excessive showiness”. Particular attention is paid to Dostoevsky’s analysis of paintings by V. N. Jacobi, V. G. Perov, V. E. Makovsky, N. G. Sсhilder, M. P. Klodt, I. E. Repin, A. I. Kuindzhi, N. N. Ge, whose work aroused genuine interest of the writer and prompted reflections on artistic truth in art. The characters of the paintings as presented by Dostoevsky come to life, acquire a “history of feelings”, a psychological appearance and a voice. The work distinguishes between such concepts used by Dostoevsky to analyze contemporary painting for the writer in the light of “realism in the highest sense”, such as “natural truth”, “real truth”, “stage truth”, “artistic truth”, “higher truth”.

The review describes a new monographic study by I. A. Vinogradov, published in 2021, on the relationship between Gogol and the censorship of his time. The scale, depth, scientific thoroughness of the book of the scientist, who presented the censorship histories of N. V. Gogol’s works with numerous details, is noted. I. A. Vinogradov thoroughly refutes the ideologized approach in illuminating the issue of the relationship between the writer and the official censorship, reveals the complex and ambiguous relationship of Gogol with the censorship department, illustrates the specifics of the government’s literary policy, explains the importance of the personality of the censor in the process of working with a literary text. The monograph overcomes stereotypical ideas about the possibilities and boundaries of cooperation between the state and the individual, about the existence of an insurmountable barrier between the artist’s self-expression, his civic position and state policy. I. A. Vinogradov presents the topic of the relationship between the writer and censorship in a volumetric and multifaceted manner, asserting it as one of the most important areas of research in modern literary criticism.

The article discusses two points of view on the primary education, literacy — I. S. Turgenev’s and A. A. Fet’s. The author describes the landmark clash between Turgenev and Fet, and also shows the mood and plans of both writers in the early 1860s. In August 1860, in anticipation of the abolition of serfdom, while in England, on the Isle of Wight, Turgenev conceived and drew up a “Draft Program for the Society for the Promotion of Literacy and Primary Education”. And Fet, forced to leave literature as a result of “persecution” of “pure art”, acquired 200 acres of black soil in the Mtsensk district. On the eve of the abolition of serfdom, the poet, who did not have his own estate and serfs, found himself in the position of a farmer, who had to endure fully on his own experience the endless troubles associated with the introduction of reforms in all spheres of economic and political life. His journalism touched upon a variety of issues, one of which was literacy. Fet’s opinion on this issue looks paradoxical. However, he was not alone, urging not to equate literacy, education and upbringing, giving preference to the moral upbringing of the people in solving the problem. A similar position was taken by V. I. Dal, whose letter to the publisher of the journal “Russkaya Beseda” A. I. Koshelev is analyzed in the article.
本文讨论了屠格涅夫和费特关于小学教育的两种观点。作者描述了屠格涅夫和费特之间具有里程碑意义的冲突，也展示了两位作家在19世纪60年代初的情绪和计划。1860年8月，期待废除农奴制的屠格涅夫在英国怀特岛构思并起草了一份“促进扫盲和初等教育协会计划草案”。由于“纯艺术”的“迫害”，费特被迫离开文学，他在姆岑斯克地区获得了200英亩的黑土地。在废除农奴制的前夕，没有自己的庄园和农奴的诗人，发现自己处于农民的地位，不得不完全依靠自己的经验，忍受与经济和政治生活各个领域的改革有关的无休止的麻烦。他的新闻报道涉及到各种各样的问题，其中之一就是识字问题。费特在这个问题上的观点似乎自相矛盾。然而，他并不孤单，他呼吁不要把识字、教育和教养等同起来，在解决问题时优先考虑人民的道德教育。v·i·达尔(V. I. Dal)也采取了类似的立场，文中分析了他给《俄罗斯报》(Russkaya Beseda)出版商A·i·科舍列夫(A. I. Koshelev)的信。

The article deals with the image of history formed in the views of the literary critic and thinker P. V. Palievsky. Palievsky’s thoughts (with the exception of references to published works) were expressed by him in correspondence and oral conversations, the records of which are kept in the author’s personal archive. The focus is on the personal experience of the Great Patriotic War, expressed by Palievsky in such a theoretical generalization of humanitarian knowledge about man and history, which implies the conceptual primacy of life, comprehended in its “stem” quality as overcoming the gap between “own” and “alien.” This is the basis of Palievsky’s understanding of the heroic, which entails not only a literary orientation, but also an assessment of specific human destinies in their belonging to a great History. This approach is embodied in the article on the example of the military fate of the commander, Hero of the Soviet Union A. I. Lizyukov.

The author of the article addresses the issue of N. V. Gogol’s death, analyzes his last words, behind which one can clearly hear the well-known saying of the saint close to Gogol’s soul Apostle Paul. The work shows that the righteous Christian death of Gogol became the pinnacle of his spiritual path, the last step of the ladder built in his soul which he climbed all his life. The Church Slavonic semantics of the word “requirement” is explained on the margins of Gogol’s Bible, it is assumed that the word “requirement” is used by the writer as Church Slavonic in the meaning: “need, necessity.” Some of Gogol’s thoughts are given about death and its impact on the people around him, educating a person from a young age in such a way that he always understands the real meaning of life, so that death is not an accident for him. It is shown that the words engraved on Gogol’s tombstone express the most important thing in his life and work: the desire to acquire the Holy Spirit and the preparation of the soul for a meeting with the Lord.

The article is devoted to the analysis of relationship between the categories of sacred and profane in “Essays of Bursa” by N. G. Pomyalovsky. The author examines various concepts of the sacred. There are two main concepts among them. The first one is the conventionally “institutional” sacred, correlated with the social sphere of religion. The second one is conventionally “ontological” sacred, associated with the “fullness of life, existence.” The author analyzes specific fragments of the text and comes to the conclusion that each of these concepts is reflected in the work. However, the author’s main idea is that the “institutional” sacred, represented by the phenomena of church (liturgical, educational) life, is profaned in “Essays of Bursa.” On the contrary, the phenomena of the profane life of students (games, relationships), which can be correlated with the “carnival, festive” attitude, are sacralized.
