Thinking about the creative heritage of F. M. Dostoevsky in the works of L. D. Zinovieva-Annibal

The article is devoted to the comprehension of philosophical, aesthetic and moral ideas in the subsequent literature on the example of L.D. Zinovieva-Annibal's work. The article analyzes the works of L. D. Zinovieva-Annibal, whose childhood is presented in an unusual, often contradictory light. The similarity of approaches of Dostoevsky and Zinovieva-Annibal to the depiction of children's self-consciousness, children's cruelty and fantasies is noted. The works of Zinovieva-Annibal, written during the revolutionary events of 1905-1907, are also marked by the influence of Dostoevsky, his understanding of the ways of building a future just society. In this connection, the issues of freedom, overcoming individualism, and the tragic consequences of revolutionary violence are brought to the forefront. The stories “ You Help!” and “ Behind Prison bars” are in the center, in which the inner contradictions of the heroes are exposed, the split of personality and loss of self-identification are shown, which is confirmed by the establishment of the motive of the hero's inner conflict, similar to Raskolnikov, for whom the external punishment is only a reflection of the destruction of his inner world. The novelty of the article lies in the fact that the embodiment of Dostoevsky's ideological heritage in the work of Zinovieva-Annibal is studied comprehensively with reliance on the analysis of the image of the child and the image of the “underground man”. As a result of the study it was found that the principles of Dostoevsky's poetics underlie the interpretation of the spiritual world of the heroes of Zinovieva-Annibal's works, which undoubtedly arose in the course of discussions with her husband, V.I. Ivanov, about the ideological and semantic content of Dostoevsky's works, who for the Symbolist poet was an iconic figure of Russian spiritual life.
