- Abstract
Saint foolishness means the foolishness for Christ. In Russian folk culture, the people of foolishness for Christ are the people of gods, and they are sacred Orthodox people. In Russian literature, a series of foolishness for Christ images have been created in both the saints’ biographical literature and secular literature. Especially in secular literature, the images of foolishness for Christ are more diversified. One type is the writer’s description of the true existence of the foolishness for Christ in history, while the other is the fictional character image created by the author based on his own understanding of the phenomenon of foolishness for Christ. Writer Remizov, as a modernist writer, is considered to be the representative of the foolishness for Christ, and he has created a series of artistic images of the foolishness for Christ. In a series of works such as the novels “Sisters of the Cross”, “The Pond” and the memoir essay “Seeing the World with Slightly Modified Eyes” and other works, he has created foolishness for Christ style characters. These people of foolishness for Christ all embody the characteristics of “rootlessness”, “prophecy” and “non-this-world nature”. As the cultural carrier of the world outlook and values of Russian civil society, “foolishness for Christ” plays an important role in the development of Russian society.
