THE MORAL-PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE OF THE NARODNAYA VOLYA MOVEMENT IN THE NOVELS OF YURI TRIFONOV AND YURI DAVYDOV

Abstract

This article explores how the novels of Yuri Trifonov and Yuri Davydov artistically apprehend the moral problems of the Narodnaya Volya (“People’s Will”) movement. The historical fiction of the 1960s–1970s develops Dostoevsky’s tradition while broadening the moral polyphony of the historical novel.
