Acknowledgments:

The work was carried with financial support of the Russian Science Foundation, project no. № 23-28-01302 “Methodology of the axiological approach to the study of Russian literature by A. A. Ukhtomsky and D. I. Chizhevsky” (https://rscf.ru/project/23-28-01302/).

Abstract:

Based on the ethical teaching of the religious thinker A. A. Ukhtomsky, the article traces and comprehends the development of the type of the Dreamer and Underground Hero in Lermontov and Dostoevsky’s stories and novels. Lermontov creates the image of the artist Lugin as a Dreamer (“Stoss”), and in the character traits of Krasinsky and Pechorin (“Princess Ligovskaya”), the features of the Underground Hero appear. In the work of Dostoevsky, the Dreamer appears not only in the story “White Nights,” but also in the story “Little Hero,” the story “Netochka Nezvanova.” The Underground Hero of Dostoevsky is depicted in the story “Notes from the Underground” and the novel “The Teenager.” The dreamers of both writers are immersed in the world of literature, music, theater, which develops their imagination. However, the characters of Dostoevsky, unlike Lermontov’s one, are able to commit an act and influence reality.
