Yury Buida and Fyodor Dostoyevsky: Types of Intertextual Connections

ABSTRACT

The essay addresses various forms of dialogue with F. M. Dostoevsky in the cycle of stories by Yuri Buida ‘The Osor’ins Chronicles’. The authors show that this dialogue is manifested through intertextual connections, allusions, details, narrative techniques defining the inner subplot of the cycle associated with the types of characters, philosophical problems inherent in Dostoevsky’s works (freedom and lack of freedom, crime and punishment, passion and lust), and also with the prophetic forebodings of the writer.
