Abstract
In this introductory article, the authors contextualize Alexei Remizov’s diary entries of January–February 1953, which are published in this Russian Literature volume for the first time. Remizov kept a diary almost throughout his entire life. The authors explain Remizov’s method of conducting diary writing and the evolution of his diary entries. They analyze the correlation of sleep and wakefulness in daily records, as well as numerous references by Remizov to the “transcendental nature of dreams” (as defined by the philosopher Pavel Florenskii). And they devote special attention to the transformation of dream motifs and Remizov’s search for their literary form in the process of creating his later works, The Fire of Things (Ogon’ veshchei, 1954) and Martyn Zadeka. Dream book (Martyn Zadeka. Sonnik, 1954).
