Abstract. The article traces ideological development and integrity of a series of "Valaam" essays as a unique phenomenon of Russian pilgrimage publicistics closely associated with the traditions of domestic spiritual prose. The author focuses on the works, which are almost forgotten today (essays of Saint Ignatius (Brianchaninov), A. N. Muravyev, N. S. Leskov, V. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko et al.). It allows us to get deeper and more comprehensive understanding of Valaam world and spirit, to trace the dynamics of the "restless" Russian soul over the whole century. Valaam essays surely represent the processes of spiritual unrest, finding the ways to faith typical of the Russian literature of this period.
