Abstract
Comparative studies of literature were stimulated by the so-called Querelle in the French culture in the close of the 17th century: Querelle iniciated comparing of ancient and modern culture. Slavic studies were inspired in this sense by the idea of specific role of the Slavic nations in European history.
Three problems of Slavic studies arised in the 20th century: doubts of the common character of Slavic cultures, clash between national convictions and the admiration for achievements of modern technology, crisis of modern Euroean culture.
