Summary/Abstract: Ottó Tolnai’s works have been interwoven with references to world literature from the very beginning, and his writings are in constant dialogue with the philosophical and artistic aspirations of his time, as well as with many important authors and phenomena of cultural history. One of the distinguished directions of his unprecedentedly wide orientation is Russian literature and culture. The present study is the first part of a more comprehensive research aimed at mapping and interpreting the Russian codes of Tolnai. The study addresses both the issue of the transference of tradition in Russian literature and the historical-political contexts of Russian cultural codes in Tolnai’s early works.
