  «“..and Still I’m a Litterateur” (To the Past Jubilee of One Poshekhon Litterateur)»

  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.

  The article finds out new approaches to the analysis of Belinsky and Shevyrev publicistic heritage based on modern ideas about various types of polemic strategy — dialogue and confrontational. Detailed consideration of Shevyrev’s judgements in parallel with the responses to them of “furious Vissarion” shows his lack of readiness for tolerant constructive dialogue even concerning the potential ally (for example, in opposition to commercial orientated literature and journalism).

• «Bulgakov and Voloshin in 1920s»

  The personal friendship of the two writers was based on an creative proximity. Voloshin considered Bulgakov as “the first who captured the soul of Russian strife”. However, he did so himself with no less artistic force in the poem “Russia,” verses about the first years of revolution and civil war. The modern reader can see many parallels between the works of Voloshin and Bulgakov: a position “above the fray,” the correlation of events in Russia with Russian and world history, an appeal to the characters and motifs of the Bible, as well as to the works of Russian writers, espe­cially Dostoevsky. They also had in common the fact that literary critics of the 1920s failed to understand both writers who, during their lives, remained underappreciated.
