Abstract
The prose written by a representative of the First Wave of Russian Emigration
– B.K. Zaytsev – has been investigated in Poland since the 1980s, and at the beginning
of the 21st century we know that there are some academic centers and researchers that
have dedicated their work to different aspects of the prose written by the author
of ’A Writer’s Diary’.
This article examines Zaytsev’s essays devoted to the spiritual values of the Russian Orthodox Church. Their essence is described in Zaytsev’s essays about John of
Kronstadt or the Optina Hermitage, which is where Russian notables such as N. Gogol,
V. Solovyov, K. Leontyev, F. Dostoyevsky or even L. Tolstoy himself came to seek advice.
Zaytsev’s essays: ‘The history of the Russian soul’ and ‘One more time about Athos’ are
very important as they provide an understanding of the values of the Russian Orthodox
Church. In the latter the author contemplates his visit to the monks of Athos reminiscing
about their kindness, rectitude and modesty which, according to Zaytsev, ‘calmed
his own soul’.
