Reminiscences of F.M. Dostoevsky in the Yu.V. Buyda’s story "Klims"

The relevance of the article is due, firstly, to the deformation of traditional spiritual values in modern society and the need for their revival, which leads to a regular increase in attention to the problems of Russian classics and its transformation in the works of modern authors, and secondly, to a small degree of study of the continuity of the traditions of F. M. Dostoevsky in the prose of Yu. V. Buyda. The purpose of the article is to identify the ideological significance of the reminiscences of F. M. Dostoevsky at the different levels of the Buyda’s story “Klims”: problematics, architectonics, systems of images, motives, symbolic and philosophical overtones. The research objectives: 1) to describe the originality of the spatial organization of the story of Yu.V. Buyda in its correlation with some features of architectonics in the works of F. M. Dostoevsky; 2) to identify the main principle of constructing a system of images in the text of Yu.V. Buyda and determine the nature of the influence of the compositional principle of the system of characters in the novels of F. M. Dostoevsky; 3) to establish the interactions of classical and modern works at the level of motives, symbolic images. To achieve the goals and objectives, comparative and typological research methods are used, allowing to concretize the picture of the world in the Buyda’s story in the context of the transformation of the elements of the poetics of F.M. Dostoevsky. As a result of the study, we come to the following conclusions. The main spatial oppositions that characterize the life model of the Buyda’s heroes, are “garbage – corner”, “house - mental hospital”, “factory of dreams”- shebeen”; the system of images is built on the antithesis of “the monster is a victim”, while the invariant of the image of abused and suffering children is F. Dostoevsky, the image of the disabled Buyda’s child; the motivs of violence and blood, which enter into antinomic relations with Christian motifs, become central in the story. The symbolic images of the axe, the horse, the Church, the Light turn out to be connected with the basic concept of the story about the possibility of overcoming destructive tendencies by modern society and its ability to embark on the path of spiritual rebirth. The study of the influence of classical heritage on modern prose in terms of the ideological continuity and originality of poetics, contributing to the development of the literary process and the deepening of the artistic concept of man and the world, seems relevant and promising.
