“Bakhtin and I Had Almost Been Colleagues...”: On the Specificity of the Last Wave of the First Russian Reception of Problems of Dostoevsky’s Art

Abstract

The first book of M. M. Bakhtin on Dostoevsky has been the focus of researchers for over 90 years now. In this article, an analysis is carried out of the last wave of the Russian reception of Problems of Dostoevsky’s Art. We show that the study of the reception of Bakhtinian ideas, contained in the work, remains relevant with respect to the development of the general framework of the intellectual history, and to the analysis of isolated components.
