Abstract
The article compared the two hermeneutic understanding of Leo Tolstoy’s Destiny. Both of them have identical vision of the subject (the Fate regarded as something necessary, but not accidental), apply the same hermeneutic method for reproduction of new meanings (divination method), use common lexical-semantic and logical categorical fields (such as «happy, glorious, gracious Fate», «rejection of their own good Fortune» etc.) and both refer to the same standard interpretative texts (such as the Gospel). Both approaches are based on the recognition that Tolstoy had a negative attitude towards his own Destiny, which, for all human estimated, was very happy. He hated his good Fortune and did everything to his fate became unhappy. By such statement the similarity of these two approaches comes to end. M. Voloshin believes that the Tolstoy’s fighting against his Destiny manifested itself as a meaningful efforts to destroy his «fatal» well-being by creating a threat to own life. Bunin thought that Tolstoy’s rejection of his benevolent Destiny was realized by his escapism and transcendence. Actually, both Voloshin and Bunin give identical worldview interpretation of L. Tolstoy’s Fate – he sought immortality and by these reason denied his lucky Fate, because he recognized that all the blessings of earth life means nothing.
