Filimonov Alexey (The Union of Writers of Russia), melosan@mail.ru The Influence of the Book “Tao Te Ching” on the Artistic World of Vladimir Nabokov The influence of the Eastern tradition on the work of the Russian-American writer Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977) has been little studied. However, we have the right to talk about such an influence, considering the poetics of Vladimir Nabokov, his special contemplative style, the meditative state of the characters, the spiritualized material world and the connection of reality with the otherworldly. The first edition of the book “Tao Te Ching" edited by Leo Tolstoy appeared in Russia in 1894, at the same time the interest in the East in Russia coincided with the reader's interest of the young Nabokov, who had also read in English and French since childhood. As a connoisseur of poetry, Nabokov was well aware of the Oriental and Chinese poems by K. Balmont, V. Bryusov, N. Gumilev and other authors. In the nostalgic novel “The Gift”, the father of the hero of the novel, the poet Fyodor Godunov-Cherdyntsev, is a famous traveler-ethnographer, a guide of a young man into the world of culture. He makes his main trips to China, which is not only a scientific, but also a spiritual pilgrimage. Nabokov describes travels to the Celestial Empire so colorfully that it seems that he himself has made imaginary trips more than once. Alas, this was not to be. Many of Nabokov's characters, such as Luzhin from the novel “The Defense”, Cincinnatus from “Invitation to a Beheading”, Pnin from the novel of the same name seem excessively detached from reality, in fact their inner world is rich and multifaceted, they seem to get used to other people, objects, another space and time. In Nabokov's works, one can find many places illustrating the mental life of the hero on the verge of disappearing from matter and compare it with the chapters of the “Tao Te Ching”, previous and recent translations of this book. All this speaks not only about Nabokov's ability to adopt a different being, but also about his attempt to create an “oriental” text in his traditional “western” shell. Keywords: Nabokov, Tao Te Ching, Taoism, otherworldliness, poetics. Gao Yuhai (Zhejiang Normal University), yuhhaigao@zjnu.cn Research on the History of Chinese Fiction in Early 21st Century Russia: A Focus on the Three-volume "A Comprehensive History of Chinese Fiction" by Alimov. The attention and research of Russian sinologists on classical Chinese fiction began in the late 19th century with Vasilyev’s “Outline of Chinese Literature History.” Since then, systematic reviews of Chinese fiction have appeared in various works on world literature, oriental literature, and Chinese literature history. However, there has never been a dedicated monograph on the history of Chinese fiction published. Since the beginning of the new century, Alimov has been dedicated to the writing of his three-volume work “A Comprehensive History of Chinese Fiction,” which was published in 2014 as “Yiyuan: AComprehensive History of Chinese Fiction from the 1st to the 6th Century”, in 2017 as “Xuangui Lu:AComprehensive History of Chinese Fiction from the 7th to the 10th Century” and in 2021 as “Yunzhai Guanglu: A Comprehensive History of Chinese Supernatural Fiction from the 10th to the 13th Century”. This three-volume work systematically discusses the
