In the article we deal with the collection of the “Leters…” by N.M. Karamzin analyzing them in context of the Russian and world literary genre tradition. The mentioned collection is thought of as some source of motivation inspiring the writer in his work with “The History of the Russian State”. A special attention is paid not only to the connection of Karamzin’s letters with epistolary intercourse by Sh.M. Djupati, but also with the narrative by K.F. Moriz and the Russian national tradition, the dawn of which is connected with the figure of D.I. Fonvizin and which was accepted as naitive one and greatly enriched by F.M. Dostoevsky. The author comes to the conclusion that international and inter-state relations is a topic which has become eternal in the sphere of art by the XXI-st century and which will always be up-to-date; a special portrait painting technology including the usage of national and comparative characteristics, the wide and multifunctional colour range as well as the symbiosis of various genre form does underline the importance of the “Leters…” by N.M. Karamzin in the development not only Russian, but world literature as well. The polymorphic and regional character of the named collection inspires the usage of the philological regionalistics methodology and all of its possibilities while analyzing “local images” in the mentioned literary work

The article under consideration is dedicated to the students’ years of N.N. Tolstoy, the elder brother of L.N. Tolstoy. The novelty of the article is characterized by the fact that the unique archive papers dealing with N.N. Tolstoy and unknown to the general public have been introduced into scientific research for the first time. The materials dated to 1830-1840 found in Central Historical Archive of Moscow are of a special importance due to the fact that that period of the Tolstoys life turned out to be obscure because of the absence of any documentary or epistolary sources. Despite applying only to the life of N.N. Tolstoy they can be viewed as a perfect commentary to L.N. Tolstoy trilogy “Childhood. Adolescence.Youth”. Scientific value of the research before us appears to be the possibility for L. Tolstoy literary researchers to get acquainted with new materials related either to the life of N.N. Tolstoy or literary creation of L. Tolstoy. The documents published have been unknown to the writer’s biographers. Conclusion: the archives contain a lot of mysteries the revelation of which will contribute to the history of Russian literature.

The article deals with the research of Yu. Tynyanov’s methodology regardless of the OPOYAZ paradigm. Slovotsentrizm (the dominant role of the word in human consciousness) of the Russian culture is clearly and tangibly manifested in the magic of OPOYAZ word, meaning a society of researchers aiming to find and examine the formal laws of prevalently poetic language. Both I.Shklovsky and B. Eyhenbaum considered the scientific historical construction of literature in terms of slovotsentrizm tradition. Therefore, their coordinated cooperation with the existing regime was required. The Tynyanov’s case is not typical for the Russian society. Having made literature and what he most loved in it - poetry, poems the subject of research, he did not rely on the art of a word only. His overflow from the field of philology was the departure from those forms of expression, which considered to be an ideological substratum of culture, to nonverbal intuitions, as the latter are not burdened by the system of rhetorical rules and are better able to create a new and more free world view.
