Abstract. The article examines Ekaterina Maslova’s image in L. N. Tolstoy’s novel "Resurrection" relying on the assumption that the writer’s intention had changed over ten years of the creative work. Comparing rough copies with the final version of the novel, the researcher for the first time shows that Maslova’s image at the early stage of work on the novel contrasts dramatically with the heroine’s image in the final version, evolving from unnatural and unsightly to natural and attractive. Considering increasing calls to the Orthodox church "to rehabilitate" Tolstoy, the interpretation of Maslova’s image (symbolic and allegoric correlations of her image with the image of Christ, as it was understood by the writer) becomes relevant, because the analysis justifies Tolstoy’s postulates, which formed the basis of his understanding of God and caused him to break away from Orthodoxy.
Key words and phrases: Л. Н. Толстой, "Воскресение", образ Екатерины Масловой, образ Христа, тезисы, L. N. Tolstoy, "Resurrection", Ekaterina Maslova’s image, Christ’s image, postulates
