K. S. Aksakov’un Slavofil Yanının Konstantinopol Kapılarında Oleg Adlı Eserine Yansıması
Reflection of K. S. Aksakov’s Slavophil Side in Oleg near Constantinopol

Summary/Abstract: K. S. Aksakov, one of the leading figures of Russian literature, grew up in a house where both art and Slavophil thoughts were dominant. Aksakov was the first to organize the ancient Slavophil spirit in Russia. In his youth, the artist was not only interested in Slavophil ideas, but also in philosophy. It is noteworthy that he made studies with the content of 'philosophy history' especially from Hegel. Oleg near Constantinople is one of these studies. Aksakov wrote his work in an anger against a a lecture given by M. T. Kachenovskiy claming that Great Knyaz Oleg was a legendary personality, and, N. M. Karamzin had used biased and uncertain sources in his twelve volume work History of the Russian State. In this work, written in the style of a play, the ancient Slavophil spirit, their beliefs, clothing, lifestyles, etc. are deeply felt from the beginning to the very end.
