metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article examines the influence of the famous Russian writer N. V. Gogol on the prose of the
  Armenian writer R. G. Patkanyan. The subject of the research are Gogol’s poem “Dead Souls”,
  Patkanian’s novel “Ambitious”, the play “Pampulius” and the story “Armenian Chichikov”. One
  of the key issues is the study of Armenian transformations of the Chichikov type, its similarities
  and differences in comparison with the Russian prototype. Historical-comparative, comparative,
  structural-morphological methods are used as the methodological basis of the study:
  the works were considered according to their content and structure. The article examines the
  connections and relationships between Russian and Armenian literature at a new level, as
  well as the influence of Russian literature in general: it studies Gogol’s literary school outside
  Russia, which had various ideological, philosophical and artistic influence on the works of
  Armenian writers and on Patkanyan in particular. One of the main problems of the article is
  the question of choosing and characterizing a scoundrel hero, since Patkanyan, under the influence
  of Gogol, also puts a person striving for wealth at the center of his works and builds his
  plot around him. The morphological commonalities of the works are also considered: entry
  into the city, establishing connections with influential people, successes, disclosure of negative
  plans, escape. As a separate issue, the problem of marriage for money is also investigated: the
  characters guided by a simple thirst for power are looking for a bride with a rich dowry. By
  following Gogol’ example, Patkanian also portrays the negative aspects of Armenia and Armenian
  reality and criticizes them trying to offer possible solutions to these problems. Being a
  student of the Gogol school, Patkanyan follows the example of the latter and in various issues and techniques of artistic generalization follows the same literary path, but he is not copying
  it: in his works, Patkanyan offers independent and unique solutions.
