Abstract: The article provides a historiography of the coverage of the theme of adolescence in the works of L. N. Tolstoy and F. M. Dostoevsky. An axiological approach to the works of both writers by the famous scientist and thinker A. A. Ukhtomsky allows us to explore the spiritual and moral issues of the works. The story “Childhood” and the novel “The Brothers Karamazov” show the types of proud characters — this is Tolstoy’s Nikolenka and Dostoevsky’s Ilyusha Snegirev. Due to their pride and the desire to please others, both characters experience a similar state of “eclipse,” when carnal feelings drown out the “natural” law. Kolya Krasotkin, like Nikolenka, is carried away by rationalism, which leads both characters to a spiritual crisis.
