THE IMAGE OF LITVINOV IN TURGENEV'S NOVEL "DYM” ("SMOKE”)
The article attempts to find out the reasons for a certain decline in Turgenev’s romantic work in the late 1860s. Images of Lavretsky or Bazarov are dialogical in their artistic structure. Turgenev, creating them, wanted to show the possibility of synthesis, reconciliation of various trends in the development of the Russian person. In the image of Litvinov, this feature of Turgenev’s work will be lost.
