Summary/Abstract: The title suggests that the method used for the preparation of the essay is comparative analysis between a well-known literary work, „The Fool” written by Dostoievsky and a cinematic work launched quite recently, „The Fool” („Durak” in Russian) by Yuriy Bykov. The purpose of the analysis is to present in a measure more or less emphasized the prototype of the „christian hero” embodied by both of the protagonists, to emphasize the disagreements with which they inevitably struggle and to underline the importance of the role played by this type of character all over the age and society.
