Abstract:

The text reveals the criteria for axiologisation of Dostoevsky’s work in the Bulgarian literary press from the 1920s and 1930s (ideological, instrumental, ethical, pragmatic / patriotic, aesthetic) by tracing its readings from the viewpoint of the “Russian soul“, the “Slavic idea“, and universal ideas. The texts of Bulgarian literary critics reveal the evolution of the reception of Dostoevsky’s work – from the idea of ts being foreign to Bulgarian mentality, to the transformation of his ideas into “one’s own“.

Keywords:
