Abstract
The existing research is primarily dedicated to the reflections of motifs and images from Dostoevskii’s works in V.Ya. Bryusov’s art. This article focuses on Bryusov’s direct quotes about Dostoevskii and his art from the pages of his critical works, correspondence and diary entries, which lead the author to the conclusion that Bryusov was not only an attentive reader of Dostoevskii but also a researcher of his work. Unlike other notable authors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries (I.F. Annenskii, D.S. Merezhkovskii, A. Belyi etc.), Bryusov didn’t write a separate article on Dostoevskii, but he planned to write a monograph, a critical work, based on scientific foundations. However, he never finished it. This analysis leads the author to the conclusion that Dostoevskii held a special place in Bryusov’s artistic conscience. For him Dostoevskii’s literary craft was an art of mystery, capable of lifting the veil from the depths of a human soul. Additionally, the study of the features of Dostoevskii’s art became an important factor in the formation of Bryusov’s own poetics and in his approach to the traditions of poetics of the writers of 19th century.
