Moujik Marei is a unique text of F.M. Dostoevsky, who in the space of four pages clearly presents the reader with his structure of image (a structure that reproduces every object of the world the way it reveals itself to the eye of the artist), his creative method and his theology. The method of contextual and close reading allows us to analyze and describe this structure of image, the creative method and forms of theological discussions, as well as to see the meaning and the purpose of the appearance of artistic texts in the midst of the "Diary of a Writer" and to analyze the deeper meaning of the story itself, which describes the process of change of view, of the appearance in the author of the "artist's eye", that is provided by "memory, carried from childhood", which is so important to Dostoevsky.
