Abstract: The review is devoted to a new academic edition of the classic masterpiece by the eminent Russian poet and philosopher Vyacheslav Ivanov (1866–1949), titled Dostoevsky: Tragedy – Myth – Mysticism. Originally published in Germany in 1932 in German, this work stands out as a culminating achievement of Ivanov’s reflections about Dostoevsky, in which he summarized ideas and observations expressed by him earlier in articles of the 1910s and lectures of the 1920s. Ivanov considered Dostoevsky his spiritual teacher and was interested in him throughout all his life. The article offers a brief overview of the Russian edition released in 2021, highlighting the most relevant provisions of Vyacheslav Ivanov’s theory today. In particular, he can be considered one of the founders of the subject-subject method in philology, which in the 21st century is actively promoted in the field of Humanities by his spiritual follower Tatiana Kasatkina.
