Abstract
Several marginal points of Freud’s concept and his article about Dostoevsky – in which the «cultural unconscious» of psychoanalysis founder showed – are studied in this paper. The closeness of this cultural unconscious to the Soviet type of culture (especially during the early Sovietism period of the ‘20s and the beginning of the ‘30s) is indicated – with its negativism to «Christian God», historical Russia, and Russian people. The affectedness of «Freudian Marxism» characteristic of the higher echelons of Soviet rule, as well as of the leaders of Soviet humanities, consisted in the aspiration for the complete «remake» of Russian culture, state, and the very Russian man. Russian literature in this case is interpreted based on criteria with anti-Christian attitudes that are absolutely foreign to it. The author of this paper demonstrates that this mental set is not overcome at all by the post-Soviet philology and is calling Russian literature researchers to free themselves from their Freudian complexes in regards to the Russian culture.
