The article analyzes the stages of development of A. M. Remizov’s “theory of Russian literary style” (“teoriya russkogo lada”) in the 1930s–1950s. In the 1930s, the opportunities for the writer to present his aesthetic views in an open journalistic form narrowed down significantly. Remizov was forced to popularize his theory and the name of its “founder” — protopope Avvakum in works devoted to other topics (Knigopisets i shtanba, Po sledam protopopa Avvakuma v SSSR, etc.). In these years, the conceptual apparatus of the theory has taken shape, the semantics of the term “theory of Russian literary style” was detailed. In 1946, Remizov made the last, unsuccessful attempt to publish an introduction to his theory in the form of a manifesto (Na russkiy lad, 1946). The exposition of this theory’s postulates was an indispensable part of most of Remizov’s works of the late 1940s-1950s. Plyashuschiy Demon (The Dancing Demon), an avant-garde book, reveals the ongoing confrontation between the supporters and opponents of the “theory of Russian literary style” up to the 20th century through a historical kaleidoscope of characters from different periods of Russian history. Related novels. i. e. Uchitel muzyki (The Music Teacher) and Podstrizhennymi glazami (By Cropped Eyes) are devoted to examining the mystery of the formation of a writer's personality, and reflect the Russian art life in the 19th-20th centuries and in the first wave of Russian emigration. The writer's emerging personality, the formation of its aesthetic foundation is historically and culturally justified in both books. The writer in question is a follower of “theory of Russian literary style.” This very theme is one of the central topics in Remizov's latest work — his book about himself Litso pisatelya (The Face of a Writer).

The article considers the aesthetic concept of N.Ya. Danilevsky. The specifics of Russian artistic thinking, revealing a special type of world experience, according to the analysis of N.Ya. Danilevsky, are as follows. 1) Russian art mainly reflects the processes of personal transformation and moral processes in a person. It’s natural, since this is also the essential content of Russian history, and art is the embodiment of the historical experience of the people in a personally expressed form. 2) The special “Russian style” in art is the highest possible realism and noble simplicity of form, combined with the most subtle spiritual movements in a person; this combination is especially difficult for art, and therefore constitutes special Russian achievement, akin to the art of Antiquity. 3) Russian art is conciliar, i.e. it is always the expression of personal experience rather than individual (in contrast to individual experience, personal experience is based on the principle of responsiveness and responsibility for others). 4) Russian art in its highest manifestations is “iconic”, i.e., it is focused on the Evangelical ideal of Holiness and sacrifice, while maintaining continuity with religious art. These four aspects of Russian art in the work of N.Ya. Danilevsky are shown as essential features of our cultural and historical type.

Deep comprehension of the advanced economic theory, the talent of lecturer enforced by the outstanding working ability forwarded Vladimir Geleznoff scarcely at the end of his thirties to prepare the publication of “The essays of the political economy” (1898). The subsequent publishing success (8 editions in Russia, the 1918­-year edition in Germany) sufficiently demonstrates that Geleznoff well succeded in meeting the intellectual inquiry of the cross­road epoch of the Russian history and by that taking the worthful place in the history of economic thought in Russia. Being an acknowledged historian of science V. Geleznoff was the first and up to now one of the few to demonstrate the worldwide community of economists the theoretically saturated view of Russian economic thought in its most fruitful period (end of XIX — first quarter of XX century).

The article analyzes V.V. Rozanov’s conceptions of antiquity, Middle Ages and new history. Rozanov singles out three periods of Russian history – Kiev, Vladimir-Moscow and Petersburg ones. The essence of each of those periods the philosopher consecutively correlates with adoption of Christianity, political organization formation and the beginning of individual creative work dominance. While interpreting his contemporary events as a public person and a journalist, Rozanov regards earlier epochs from the position of a myth-creator. The diverse historical process gives way to the literary and static image of the epoch. The author of the article pays special attention to how Rozanov characterizes historical personalities, to his views on the role of religion, state, bureaucracy and parliamentarism.

The author of the article uses the works of L.A. Tikhomirov as the basis when examining the problem of criticism of the conditions of the state and society in monarchic Russia during the last decade of its existence from the part of the conservative figures who not only advocated the necessity to preserve the autocracy but also substantially contributed to the working out of the main principles of Russian social development. In particular, the “creative conservators” managed to accomplish the deep philosophic conceptualization of Russian history while trying to find the previously lost ideal of social organization. Tikhomirov’s relevant concepts of the mutual conditionality of Russian national consciousness underdevelopment and state degradation, as well as of the necessity to realize the model of the moral state of justice on the basis of the national idea, were not accepted by the bureaucratic system that resulted before long in the collapse of Russian monarchic state.
