Açıklama:

In this interview, Prot. Dimitry Smirnov discusses with Prof. Vladimir Voropaev the linguistic and spiritual aspects of Gogol's work, exploring how the author blends Church Slavonic with folk speech, his unique ecclesiastical worldview among Russian classics, and the significance of his favorite book, John of Sinai's "Lestvitsa". They examine themes such as the mystery of language, the role of the church calendar, the central problem of "Taras Bulba", and Gogol's reflections on faith, love for Russia, and the divine liturgy. The conversation also touches on Gogol's criticism of the West, his relationship with Tolstoy, and the enduring legacy of his writings in the context of Christian heritage.
