Abstract
The article considers the examples of literary influence of Dostoevsky’s poetics on the works of the writer-belletrist Mikhail Nilovich Albov, whose work is a significant part of the literary process of the late 19th century and is being republished in the 21st century. The mastering of F.M. Dostoevsky’s artistic style by his epigone Albov manifested itself in the depiction of a gloomy artistic world, the atmosphere of twilight reality, in the creation of a reflective, mentally ill type, in the repetition and variation of plot situations, in the depiction of the peculiarities of the characters’ behaviour, in the use of names and surnames from Dostoevsky’s works, in the depiction of St. Petersburg. Signs of literary influence are revealed in Albov’s stories “Notes of a Basement Tenant”, “City Incident”, “Petersburg Miserables”, “In the Mist of a Grey Day”, in the “psychiatric study” “The Day of the Bottom Line”. The identification of literary reminiscences and allusions in the texts of his small prose, mainly from the story “Notes from Underground” and the novel “Crime and Punishment”, shows not only the desire to imitate the great contemporary, but also indicates the original features, which were reflected in the transformation of genre canons, in the innovative development of traditional themes and the presentation of literary types.
