Summary/Abstract: The present text aims to focus on a curious episodic presence of Dostoevsky in Nabokov’s final Russian novel, 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐺𝑖𝑓𝑡 (1938). In this novel, in a few sentences, three Russian writers of the 19th century – Dostoevsky, Chernyshevsky and Nekrasov – are brought together and portrayed in an ironic light against the background of the famous May fires of 1862 in Saint Petersburg.
