Abstract: The article presents the first attempt to systematically examine the status of the phenomenon of
silence as one of the most important means of expressing the author’s position in the novel “Noble Nest” using
the method of slow reading. It analyzes the key scenes of Turgenev’s text, and through them identifies the value-based positioning in the system of characters (the opposition between “religious humanism” and “Christian
ethics”). The authors of the article show the process of creating perceptibility for the reader of the semantic
residue by Turgenev in the picture of the directly depicted and spoken. This is designed to mark the transition
of the characters beyond the boundaries of the concrete historical background through the nature of the word
of art. In this way Turgenev created his own version of the “higher reality” in the “Noble Nest” and, accordingly,
the field of cultural dialogue with the works of his great contemporaries-realists. The article consistently reveals the interaction between the axiological and poetological planes of the Russian classical realism, which is
especially important for the understanding of this global phenomenon by both teachers and students. The detailed and meticulous analysis
are designed to help the teacher to build up their version of a lesson at school taking into account different but complementary conceptions
in the national science of the art of artistic expression in relation to a particular literary direction.
