The Reception of Dostoevsky in Romania and the Influence of Soviet Marxist Criticism

Summary/Abstract: The paper addresses the way in witch Dostoevsky's works have been published and interpreted in Romania during the communist regime, particularly in the period 1945-1970. Using content analysis and comparative analysis, the attempt is to identify the main constitutive elements of the Marxist-Leninist paradigm through witch the texts of the Russian writer were approached by the literary Romanian critics and to investigate the influence of the Soviet literary critics. In the early years of the communist regime, Dostoevsky's novels were often accompanied by exegetical texts of the Soviet critics and the premise is that the Romanian critics used similar elements in their approach.
