Abstract

The article is devoted to war and peace, which are the fundamental images in Leo Tolstoy's novel Hadji - Murad . They are analyzed through the prism of the Greek concept of "polemos" (war). This concept includes war and peace not as a binary opposition, but as a holistic and dialogical unity. Polemos discovers the conceptual image of war that includes peace as its essential "other". The special attention is paid to the ideological, national, and ressentiment (ethical) aspects of the problem of war and peace, repression and resistance.
