Oni a my: ruská literárněvědná bohemistika a česká literatura
They and we: Russian Czech literary studies and the Czech literature

several reflections of the recent state

Summary/Abstract: The author of the present article tries to demonstrate — in connection with several Russian team publications and three significant personalities of Russian Czech literary studies — the specific features of the Russian research of Czech literature, its positive features and pitfalls. The latter ones are often linked with the excessive dependence on the opinions of the Czech literary establishment in any historical period and with a less intensive integration of genuine Russian and — in a wider sense — East-Slavonic cultural experience. The studies by Sergey Nikolsky, Lyudmila Budagova, and Svetlana Sherlaimova, however, also represent relatively independent reflections of Czech literature as a whole and, above all, its leading personalities.
