Course objectives
The aim of the lecture is to explicate the conception of the 19th-century Russian literature as a dominance of characterology from Pushkin, Griboedov, Lermontov to Nekrasov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Chekhov accentuating the Russian antinomies of the key-characters of Russian literature. At the end of the course the student should have a more precise idea of the development of the dominant figures of Russian classical literature and of their literary constructing.
