Русская идея как художественный феномен (к постановке проблемы)

Abstract

The article offers a literary critical interpretation of the Russian idea. The basic levels of its analysis are established, including the intertextual, problematic and lexical ones and that of plot and composition. The category field is determined within the framework of which the interpretation could be performed. The oppositions of the Russian idea essential for the artistic mentality of Russian literature in 19—20 centuries are revealed: community spirit and collectivism, Messiahship and missionship, moral and religious and communistic, Russian and Soviet, etc.
