TY - JOUR N2 - This article deals with the personal relations between Fyodor Dostoevsky, Nikolai Gogol and Vissarion Belinsky. It examines the impact of these exchanges on Dostoevsky’s and Gogol’s literary works as well as on their biographies. The author argues that in order to fully understand Dostoevsky’s relation to the other two writers, one should take into account the change of his Weltanschauung during his exile years and his subsequent turn from pure realism ( Poor Folk) to fantastic realism ( The Double). With Gogol, one has to acknowledge his mature views expressed in Selected Excerpts from Correspondence with Friends, the last book he published before his death.
