Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to research in the field of Russian literature-centrism. Considered the most prominent moments of mythopoeia in Russian literature: the so-called «myth of Pushkin», «origin-myth» of Dostoevsky. We introduce a new definition of regressive and progressive myths associated with the thrust of the myth-creating consciousness from the present to the past and from the past to the present. The author dwells on the hermeneutic approach to the myth, for which the principal is demythologization through the interpretation of the myth that preserves «friendly» his understanding. This method is based on the hermeneutical research philologists Vardan Hayrapetyan and Armen Grigoryan, and relies on the work of Russian scholars and thinkers hermeneutical sense Mikhail Bakhtin, Vladimir Bibikhin, Sergey Bocharov
