Description The author of the present study investigates the changes in the Czech reflection of Russian literature and its universality. Proceeding from own experience of the author of the study in the Czech reaction on Leo Tolstoy’s death, he observes the shifts in the reception of Russian literature at the beginning of the 20th century and later in the histrical rigmaroles of revolutions, world wars and political coups d’état (Havlíček, Masaryk). The author who tries to rationally observe the problems of the universality of Russian literature, analyzes various Czech polemics round Russian issues, mainly about Slavophiles, Westeners, but also avant-garde and Stalin’s return to academism in the 1947 book in which the well-known contradictions in the reception of Soviet and Russian reality – often paradoxically – were revealed and demonstrated new shifts also in M. C. Putna’s book.
