A bold attempt at solving the riddle of Gogol's novel Dead Souls. Gogol constructed the novel strictly according to a moral pattern. The novel thus proves to be a true descendant of medieval romance with its inseparable interrelation between ethics and epics.

Gogol', Nikolaĭ Vasil'evich, --- Allegory. --- Banality of evil. --- Dead Souls. --- Epic. --- Ethics. --- Nikolai Gogol. --- Russian literature.
