Summary/Abstract: The paper considers the image of Napoleon in N.M. Karamzin and G.R. Derzhavin’s works. N.M. Karamzin, who dedicated a sufficient number of publications to Napoleon in his literary and political journal “The Messenger of Europe” (1802 – 1803), was interested in the psychological nature of Bonaparte and admired his various talents, thereby showing a sentimentalist attitude towards the individual personality. N.M. Karamzin depicted Napoleon as a sentimentalist character with pathos and reflection. On the contrary, G.R. Derzhavin foretold the collapse of Napoleon in some of his works long before 1812, using apocalyptic symbols and literary conventionality. During the Patriotic War, N.M. Karamzin became virtually closer to G.R. Derzhavin and expressed his hatred towards the usurper through the stylistics of classicism, mostly elaborated at those times, in order to embody the civil topics.
