The problem of the sacred space in the A.N. Tolstoy's journalism

The article analyses A.N. Tolstoy's journalism in the context of confessionary poetics. The article introduces the notions, "sacral chronotope", "sacral topos", confessional motives. The spatial-temporal correlations in Tolstoy's essays closely connect to the levels Space ? Earth ? Hell. The form of an inner monologue in the articles makes them closer to the confessionary tradition. The analytical observations allow us to introduce Tolstoy's articles of wartime in the context of research considerations of the spiritual tradition of a confessionary word.
