Summary/Abstract: This article tries to give a short survay about the reception of Dostoevsky in Hungary between 1920–1944. There is a special group of the Hungarian interpretators of the Russian writer in this period, namely three protestant theologians—Béla Varga, Kálmán Újszászy, László Vatai—whose works show very important interferences of ideas, appearing in existentialism (by Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Jaspers, Berdjajev), in the contemporary protestant theology (Karl Barth, Eduard Thurneysen) and in the Bakhtin’s conception of the dialogue and the „postupok” i.e. act. These spiritual connections take their origin from the common European philosophy: it is interesting to follow, how reflect the new concepts in the different Dostojevskij’ interpretations.
