Abstract

The article summarizes the interim results of the problem “Bakhtin under a mask”, the main of which is the final solution of Bakhtin question in the sense that the presumption of authorship for disputed texts now unambiguously passes to M.M. Bakhtin. As arguments for proving Bakhtin's attribution of the books “Freudianism”, “The Formal Method in Literary Criticism” and “Marxism and the Philosophy of Language” both numerous testimonies of Bakhtin himself and his contemporaries, and the results of text analysis of controversial books are cited. The logically grouped evidence clarifies Bakhtin's ethical and scientific position on this issue. An immanent study of disputed texts from the point of view of their content and style, on the one hand, and comparing them with authentic Bakhtin works, on the other hand, leads to the recognition of their semantic and stylistic unity, which presupposes the unity of authorship.
