Abstract

The article outlines the possible prototypes of one of the characters of I. A. Goncharov’s novel The Precipice — Sofia Belovodova. The author of the novel arguably left no evidence concerning any prototypes for this character, and claimed that the image was artificial. Nevertheless, years of research by the Goncharov scholars made it possible to pinpoint several persons in the writer’s entourage who might have been involved in prototype situations that corresponded to the plot of the novel. These are E. V. Sukhovo-Kobylina (Evgenia Tur) and N. I. Nadezhdin (in the position of Teacher Yelnin), E. I. Drutskaya-Sokolinskaya, E. V. Tolstaya (and Goncharov himself in the position of Rajskii), Princess Z. A. Volkonskaya and Count Miniato Ricci (in the position of Milari), as well as Count Giovanni Matteo de Candia (Giovanni Mario) (separately, in the position of Milari).

KeywordsI. A. Goncharov, N. I. Nadezhdin, Eugenia Tur (E. V. Sukhovo-Kobylina), E. I. Drutskaya-Sokolinskaya, E. V. Tolstaya, Z. A. Volkonskaya, Count Miniato Ricci, Count Giovanni Matteo de Candia (Giovanni Mario), The Precipice, novel, prototype, biography.
