In our article, we consider such types of heroes characteristic of Russian literature of the 19th century as “extra man”, “little man”, “man of the third estate seeking to assert himself in the social sphere”, “humiliated and insulted man”, “new man”, we give an example for each type, analyze the heroes of Russian literature, and examine why they belong to a certain type.So, considering the type of "extra person", we turn to the work of A.S. Pushkin “Eugene Onegin”, “a little man” the story of N.V. Gogol's "Overcoat", a type of person of the third estate, seeking to establish himself in the social sphere, - A.S. Pushkin's “Queen of Spades” and F.M. Dostoevsky's “Crime and Punishment”, the type of “humiliated and insulted” is characterized by the example of a novel by F.M. Dostoevsky's “Poor People” (images of Makar Devushkin and Varenka Dobroselova), and the type of “new man” - on the example of Yevgeny Bazarov from the novel by I.S. Turgenev “Fathers and Sons.” The article notes that the type of “little man” in Russian literature of the XIX century is repeatedly transformed. So, he is transformed into types of a person of the third estate, who in various ways seeks to realize himself in the social sphere, in society; “Humiliated and insulted person”; turns into an image of a person who continues to remain below the socio-hierarchical ladder, but endowed with a big heart. It is also noted that such a change is due to the socio-historical development of Russia, the emergence of new bourgeois relations. As a result, it is concluded that writers created types of heroes in order to reliably convey the era in which such characters were born.
