The reader – our contemporary – was thrown back in his ideas about Gogol a century and a half ago: he again knows only Gogol -satirist, the author of the “Examiner” and “Dead Souls”.
The spiritual prose of Gogol for our contemporaries practically does not exist; In part, they are in an even more sad situation than the contemporaries of the writer: they could judge him on their own, and the current public opinion about Gogol is imposed – numerous articles, scientific monographs and teaching in schools and universities. Meanwhile, it is impossible to understand and evaluate the work of Gogol as a whole outside of spiritual categories.
Nowadays, Gogol’s covenant, given to his contemporaries, sounds with renewed vigor: “Be not dead, but living souls. There is no other door, except for the indicated by Jesus Christ, and everyone will be focused on otherwise there is a tattoo and robber.”
