%X Sa£¿etak This essay deals with the holly fool (yurodivy) phenomenon in the cultural history of Russia providing interpretations of various texts ¨C religious, medical, but primarily artistic ones (literature and film). Russian artists and intellectuals often practise mysticism and for them the sacred is a transcendental ontological reality to be experimented with. The author examines the way in which the yurodivy, an idiosyncrasy of Russian folk culture, at a certain historical moment became entwined with the thought of Russian authors such as Dostoevsky, Berdjajev and Tarkovsky, providing them with a form for a religious conception of art and a specific vision of the artist as a yurodivi ¡°who mocks the world by day, only to mourn it by night¡± and artistic works as ¡°pathways towards the other world¡±
