Abstract:

The main content of the work — review and classification of the appeals to the personalities, images and ideas in Russian literature of the “Petersburg period”, which are occurred on journalistic pages of the liberal-patriotic weekly “Democracy” (1917–1918), with the exception of F.M. Dostoevsky, to whom a special article will be dedicated due to abundance of the material associated with his personality and creativity. The body of works by the contemporaries of the revolution, which were published in the weekly, will also be considered in the format of special work. A special study dedicated to the New Testament motifs and images in the integral discourse of the weekly is also planned. Thus, the present article will be the first step in the study of artistic and journalistic products of “Democracy”, the foundation for subsequent conclusions. Historical-typological, multi-disciplinary, conceptual-constantological and discursive-intertextual methods and approaches are used.

Keywords: Journal “Democracy”, journalism, Russian revolution of 1917, Russian literature, literary quality, “Petersburg period” of Russian history, people, nation, intelligentsia.
