The article presents the point of view of a Russian writer and thinker, I. Turgenev, on disputes carried on between representatives of Westernizers and Slavophiles in Russia in the forties of the 19th century. It analyses and interprets some chosen literary works included in Notes of a hunter. In that work, Turgenev supports the idea of enfranchisement, modernization of economy, and liquidation of feudal relics in the way of life and customs. There is nothing typically slavophile in Turgenev’s considerations; he was concentrating on the issues of traditional, patriarchal type of social relationship. He was clearly and definitely supporting V. Bielinsky and K. Kavelin, the leading Westernizers at that time.
