Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to theoretical and practical issues that emerge while preparing the historical (“real”) commentary on Dostoevsky’s writings. The work studies traditional and modern approaches to commenting of literary texts, provides variants of the classification of linguistic commentaries of different types, and identifies types that are relevant to the study of Dostoevsky’s works. In the article, as exemplified in Dostoevsky’s novel “The Idiot” (its handwritten and printed texts), the question of the tasks, subject, content and limits of a historical (“real”) commentary on literary texts is examined.
