Summary/Abstract: Russian literature writers (Dolinin, Bioma, Grosman, Slonim) have repeatedly discussed in their books and articles the relations between Russian writer F. Dostoyevsky and his beloved A. Suslov (1861 - 1867). In their works, conveying the dramatic story of their love, they were dominated by biographical and factual aspects. The author of the article proposes to look not only for Suslov's blog, which captures many important moments of the writer's life, but also her fairy works, especially the text "Svetima ir savo", which could have a certain influence on Dostoyevsky's novels and narratives. The texts created by Suslov, their emotional mood, plot peripetias, not to mention complicated female characters, are "repeated" in Dostoevsky's works in various versions. The article discusses the creative dialogue between these two talented people based on theories of external intertextuality, as well as the statements of Bachtin on the links between "foreign" and "own" words.
