Abstract

The author analyses the Fyodor Dostoevsky’s approach to the Jewish question through the Leonid Tsypkin’s novel Summer in Baden-Baden. According to the principle of the postmodern text, the narration is conducted in several dimensions. The Jewish question is comprehended in the context of Dostoevsky’s corpus of texts. Next to that, the diary of the writer’s wife — Anna Dostoevskaya becomes an attribute of expression. Attention is drawn to the subjective approach of Tsypkin, who periodically goes into the genre of a literary essay, and also experiences an internal conflict of his origin. The paradox here is Dostoevsky’s humanism and
anti-Semitism. The love for the literature wins, but the Jewish question remains an insurmountable trauma. The raising of the Jewish question determines the peculiarities of the novel’s poetics.
