The author of the study deals with some specific features of Russian literature in general and the Russian novel in particular. One of them consists of the contradiction between the record of the passing and of the event, between calmness and motion, dramatic and descriptive structures, causality and juxtaposition. The contemporary narrative accentuates the contrast between the event and description The traditional narrative is the structure based on the event i. e. on something unexpected and extraordinary (Wolf Schmied). On the contrary, the typical feature of Russian literature is 'drowning in the stream of history', the effort to let history flow, not to intervene with demonic gestures in cosmic processes. This, of course, does not mean at all that Russian literature in general and the Russian novel in particular would not want to realize their demonic functions - Russian messianism and utopianism are quite famous. The origin of this feature goes back - as it is generally believed - to a cluster of oriental teachings, most probably to gnosticism and the traditions of Byzantine culture. The author presents several examples of these phenomenon in the works of several Russian and non-Russian authors frequently associated with eccentricity, strangeness and madness, e. g. I. Goncharov, N. Gogol, N. Chernyshevsky, F. Bulgarin, L. Tolstoy, A. Chekhov, K. Capek, V. Nabokov and others.

On the basis of the analysis of some of Helmuth Plessner’s topics (expression of cry, corporeity, man in relations, situations and historicity) we try to introduce the specific approach of philosophical anthropology. Through the “eccentric positionality” as a core concept of Plessner’s anthropology we understand also his multi-layered and specific form of questioning, openness and indeterminacy of man (Ger. Unergründlichkeit). By the question of actuality and influence of anthropological initiative which arose in the 30’s in Germany we focus finally also on its relation to phenomenology as well as its roots in the philosophy of life.
