The article is devoted to the reception of L.F. Zurov’s creative work in the criticism of the Russian diaspora. The material was published in the emigrant periodicals of 1928–1971. It is established that Zurov’s creative path was constantly under careful study of critics. More than forty reviews and responses to his books have been published in the central periodicals of the Russian diaspora. The stylistic, genre, and ideological aspects of the writer’s work which were noted in the literary and critical responses are revealed. The reviewers wrote about the novelty of the themes discovered by Zurov, the unusual architectonics of his novels, the peculiarities of the narrative style, and the subtle linguistic flair. They also drew attention to the writer’s artistic worldview which contains elements of natural philosophy and historiosophy. Among the advantages of Zurov’s works were the image of the spontaneous movement of the masses, the organic sense of nature and history, and the feeling of the Russian land. These emigrant critics emphasized the sharp difference between Zurov and the young emigrant writers of his day. It manifested itself in a special attention to the history of Russia as well as in the writer’s language richness. The article considers the controversy about the role and significance of Bunin’s traditions in Zurov’s prose. It is concluded that critics generally appreciated Zurov’s writing talent, the originality and fruitfulness of his creative manner. Some leading emigrant critics were unanimous in recognizing the fact that Zurov’s books were a great contribution into the Russian literature.
