Obraz Ruska a ruskej kultúry v slovenskej spoločnosti na konci 19. a na začiatku 20. storočia (časopis Hlas a jeho generační spolupútnici)
The Image of Russia and Russian Culture in Slovak Society at the Turn of the 19th and 20th Centuries [the Periodical Hlas (Voice) and Its Generation]

Summary/Abstract: Personal experience with Russian culture and Russia is a separate theme in literary works by authors known as the "generation of the Hlas“ (according to a periodical in which they published). Several authors belonged to this generation active between roughly the 1890s and the 1910s, such as Vavro Šrobár, Dušan Makovický, Albert Škarvan, Bohdan Pavlů, Jozef Gregor-Tajovský, as well as Janko Jesenský who was not directly affiliatedwithitbutwastheirpeer. At the beginning, contacts of these writers with Russian philosophy and literature were mediated, and often inspiring. Later on, they showed personal experience from Russia in their works. This experience brought equivocal results: in some cases, it strengthened belief in Russia whereas in other cases, it made them rethink their original attitudes or it cast doubts on their original opinions about Russia.
