"The Russian idea" in Yuri Kuznetsov's poem "Fedora"

The article deals with the historiosophical meaning of J. P. Kuznetsov’s poem «Fedora». It is concluded that the poet defines the essence of the current moment in the history of Russia in 1993, outlines historical parallels with previous eras, enters into a polemic with Chaadaev and Vyazemsky, develops the ideas of Dostoevsky and Blok. Yu.P. Kuznetsov focuses his attention on way of Russia in the world history, the «Russian idea», which is not a movement in a circle or along a curve, without a goal, as Chaadaev believed, not trampling on the spot, but a conscious and bequeathed by the ancestors insistent movement forward, through disasters and rebirth. The poet’s idiostyle is subordinate to the solution of this creative problem.
