The study Grigorij Skovoroda and Joseph de Maistre is a part of bigger research project Grigorij Skovoroda and Russian 19th-20th-Century Philosofical Thought. In the present article the author analyzes the latent presence of the teaching of the 18th-century Ukrainian thinker in Sankt-Petersburg Evenings (Les Soirées de Saint-Pétersbourg) by J. de Maistre and in the speeches of the Senator whose prototype was Skovoroda's disciple and de Maistre's close friend V. S. Tomara. De Maistre's ideas which are also presented in Sankt-Petersburg Evenings were variously and strangly reflected in later Russian thought in the works of P. J. Chaadaev, A. S. Sturdza, F. M. Dostoevsky, I. S. Aksakov, M. N. Katkov, V. S. Solovyev, L. P. Karsavin and others.
