The mystery of N. V. Gogol and G. S. Skovoroda: on the borrowing of the semantics of G. S. Skovorova by N. V. Gogol (210 years from the death of the great Russian and Ukrainian philosopher and poet)

Y. Y. Barabash brought out the mystery - N. V. Gogol grew at Poltavshchyna and could not be ignorant of the oeuvre of G. S. Skovoroda. He pointed out the similarity in personality and destiny (pilgrimage), in poetics (the baroque), in spirit in soul (self-knowledge and anthropologism, faith). The analysis of semantics of G. S. Skovoroda and of N. V. Gogol shown similarities in concepts of dead and living souls, of affinity, of justice, of Cephas and Mocius, of Miro-Gorod, of life, of human being, of faith and sin, of chosenness of human being, of love and friendship, of the general and the particular in history, of courts, of mid of cosmic model, etc. This similarity of semantics can not be explained by the cultural tradition, but it means that N. V. Gogol read and studied writings of G. S. Skovoroda and used them in his books up to 1840. It is the only one in the world literature experience of utilization of philosophy of another in whole in his art. N. V. Gogol didn’t mention the name of G. S. Skovoroda on account of that he needed the authority precisely of a Russian author and so was A. S. Pushkin and not G. S. Skovoroda as freedom-loving author and because of complex of anity and egoism. No sooner than expending the end in his death note N. V. Gogol fixed the lesson of Christ, G. S. Skovorova and of V. G. Belinsky: one must not reject the talent given by God and Nature, and N. V. Gogol had the talent of satirist. When he rejected this talent, the Black Book of Life - misfortune. Nature and God took away from him his talent of ukranian creation and he died having lost the purpose of live in the hope of court of Christ.
