Аn appeal to the characters and motives of Russian writers’ works, especially Dostoevsky’s, seems to be one of the sources of unconscious creative proximity between these two writers of the XX century. Voloshin considered Bulgakov as «the first who captured the soul of Russian strife». However, he did it by himself with no less artistic force in his poem «Russia», verses of the first years of revolution and civil war. A modern reader can see many echoes between the works of Dostoevsky, Voloshin and Bulgakov.
