Abstract:

The report makes comments on a fragment about Leskov's story “Sheramur” from the work “Nikolai Semenovich Leskov. Experience of Characteristics and Religious Creativity” by S.N. Durylin. The author considers the context (Leskov's story, Durylin's article “Richard Wagner and Russia” (1913), his essay “The Chief of Silence” (1916), etc.), determining its influence on the perception of the ambiguous Leskov's hero.

Keywords: S.N. Durylin, N.S. Leskov, “Sheramur”, Russian literature, perception.
