Abstract
Aim – to review the process of formation of Russian philosophical discourse. The author supports the position that there was no philosophical discourse in the literature of the ancient Russians, and the original Russian philosophy began to form only in the 18th century. The books of Ancient Russia are characterized by the absence of a direct connection with the ancient philosophical tradition. The ideas of Ancient authors came to Russia through Byzantium. However, the ancient Russian scribes perceived them as "Hellenic sophistry" and manifestations of paganism.
The author comes to the conclusion that the Russian religious literature is specific for its essential orientation to the Greek religious literature of the IV-VI centuries. Russian philosophy historians can understand better the specifics of the Russian intellectual culture analyzing religious texts.
