The author of the present reflection on Raisa Kuznetsova’s (1920–2001) creative work describes a wider context of the mutual relations between domestic and foreign philology, above all, on the contacts between Czech and Russian literatures appreciating the views of foreign specialists in Czech studies of Czech literature which contributed to a more profound penetration into the undercurrents, half-hidden (for the domestic research) qualities of the given national literature. In case of Raisa Kuznetsova he expresses his respect for her orientation on the novel in general, the epic novel /epopee /epopeia (German: Roman-Epopöe) in particular and on the interwar literature which represents the miraculous Golden Age of Czech literature.
