Summary/Abstract: This paper compares three of them, a novella by M. Gorky, and Crime and Punishment, a novel by F. M. Dostoevsky, on several levels: similarities and differences between main characters and their fates and secondary characters and their relationship to the main ones. Two crimes that take place in the texts are analyzed in detail. The motives, the act of the crime itself and its consequences are examined. It is hoped that this detailed analysis proves the existence of a typological and genetic relationship between literary works of F. M. Dostoyevsky and M. Gorky.
