The article is aimed at bringing back the interest to the works of M.E. Saltykov- Shchedrin, to the powerful and creative fundaments of his satire. In its basics lie the high ideals, which extend the works of Schedrin beyond the narrow scope of satire and give them the wide social perception. This fact allows naming Schedrin a “literary man” in that comprehensive meaning, which was put in these words by Schedrin and his contemporaries.
