Abstract

The article focuses on the methods of image creation of Fyodor Dolokhov, one of Leo Tolstoy’s strangest and ambiguous characters. Besides the relations between this image and three prototypes well known in philology (Fyodor Tolstoy-American, Rufin Dorokhov, Alexander Figner) there is a significant connection between Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dolokhov. The latter reveals itself in the author’s attention to this character in his diary and many similar features (which Tolstoy wanted to restrain in himself to become a better person)
