Abstract

The article deals with the identification of “Russian realist writers as bears” in Western European criticism, and examines the reception of this identification by Russian writers in fiction and documentary texts: from rejection to comprehension and outplaying stereotypical European images. The principle uniting Russian realists and bears was the polarity - geographical outskirts, as well as the extreme nakedness of the artistic technique of the realists and the extremely daring behavior of Russian bears, bordering on belligerence.
