Wielki Inkwizytor a idea rosyjska
The Grand Inquisitor and the Russian Idea

Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt at a philosophical interpretation of the Grand Inquisitor, a figure from The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. My interpretation refers to Dostoevsky‟s historiosophical and political views as expressed in his journalistic writing. The analysis points to the connection between the literary figure of the Grand Inquisitor and the notion of the „Russian idea‟, which posits the complementarity of religion and politics (constituting a variant of political theology).
