Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of the contradictory attitude to Gogol’s creative heritage in the posterior Russian literature. The author analyzes the conflict between the content of the writer’s works and the pathos of his closest “successors”, representatives of the so-called “natural school”, which united the writers of the Western direction headed by V. G. Belinsky and N. A. Nekrasov. The role of P. V. Annenkov, V. P. Botkin, I. S. Turgenev, N. G. Chernyshevsky, etc. in the campaign against Gogol launched in 1847 by Belinsky regarding the publication of the “Selected passages from the correspondence with friends” is stressed. The special attitude to Gogol’s traditions by F. M. Dostoevsky is considered in detail. The history of Turgenev’s article about the death of Gogol in 1852 is analyzed.
