Summary/Abstract: The author of the present reflection characterizes the personality and work of the Czech specialist in Russian studies, literary scholar Oldřich Richterek (1940–2026) as a supporter of calm analysis, dialogue and tolerance of opinions. He deals not with his core works, which concern the translation, reception and interpretation of the work of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov and generally with the dialogue of cultures, cultural transgression and literary transfer, the translation and reception of Russian literature in the Czech environment, but with the two texts, one of which analyzes the theme of war in Sergei Yeseninʼs narrative poem Anna Snegina, and the other is a didactic propaedeutics of literary studies for Czech students of Russian literature. The author points to shifts in emphasis in Richterekʼs view of Yesenin and the roots of his methodology, as well as the preferences in the interpretation of methods of literary studies, versology and Czech–Russian literary relations.
