Summary/Abstract: In chapters V and VI of the second volume of “The Brothers Karamazov” by F. M. Dostoevsky a dispute about church court starts. The motifs of “social Christianity” not mentioned by researchers earlier become apparent here. A certain correlation of the way of thinking of the characters, sometimes very accurate, with exact viewpoints of some Russian thinkers upon certain issues or even with certain movements of social thought take place in this dispute. This study shows that Ivan Karamazov presents the theocratic utopia about future transformation of the State into “the Universal Church” asserted by Vladimir Solovyov (although he does not seem to believe much in it).
