Prishvin’s diaries and works of fi ction written during the WWI and in the years of revolution and post-revolutionary time. <...> This subject has never been analyzed in special studies. <...> Considering M.M. Prishvin’s diaries and fi ction written in 1914–1923 we reveal the following subject: the way of individual who gets the experience of the discovery of the new world. <...> We explore the connections between such concepts as “New Adam”, “Wanderer”, “Priesthood in the Daily World”, “Community”, “Brotherhood”, “Brotherly Line” and also between “New World”, “Church”, “Commune” and “Mir” (Community). <...> The conclusion is made that the idea of the “New World” and “New Man” is conceptualized in M.M. Prishvin’s diaries in the context of the Gospel. <...> It means the spiritual transformation of the person that helps to open the sacred Kitezh in everyday life. <...> M.M.
