Literary influences and national identity

The problem of literary ties, of the general cultural contact between the Slavic peoples at the V International Congress of Slavists was devoted to a number of reports and scientific communications. These influences were considered on a pan-Slavic or national level, with a view to a specific writer or work. Regularities were indicated, literary phenomena and features were studied. A huge amount of factual material was presented, which will make it possible to clarify controversial and indisputable concepts. Some of the reports, regardless of their concreteness in posing and developing individual questions, point to analogies and a more creative look into the essence and specificity of the literary process.
