Summary/Abstract: The image of Russia, be it a literary description or an allegorical painting, or even a regular tourist impression, is redolent of superpower majesty. The Russian Empire, and the immensity of the same, yielded to none in glory and even the Empire of Ancient Rome had been of considerably smaller dimensions, so that foreigners rightly marvelled at it—says Pavel Chichikov of Gogol’s Dead Souls.
