Alexander Pushkin remains the greatest, and world-known poet of Russia. His genius has come through centuries. Pushkin had spent more than a third of his life in the city of St. Petersburg - the best years of his youth and the years of maturity, the highest voltage of spiritual strength, creative and frail life problems. And finally, the tragic denouement - a duel on the Black River as a symbol of suffering and fatalism in the fate of the poet. None of the city was not it sung with such a high sense as "City of Peter" and in such diverse works: poems, prose, poetry, letters. However, St. Petersburg in the perception of the great poet always remained ambivalent. It was the city of his friends and colleagues, a stronghold of Russian scientific thought and court society, but, the city of his enemies too. That's how come so many different images of St. Petersburg in Pushkin's poetry.
St. Petersburg takes a significant place in the works of Dostoevsky. The city is related to many memories and feelings of the writer. St. Petersburg seemed gloomy and cold to Dostoevsky. Dostoevsky heroes of "Poor People", "White Nights", "Crime and Punishment" are derived from this environment. The Dostoyevsky's cityscape has a great artistic load. The city landscape is not only experience, but also the landscape of expression. It is intrinsically linked to portray human world, and stresses the sense of hopelessness experienced by the heroes of Dostoevsky's works.
