The article deals with one of the aspects of the novel "Crime and Punishment", where the voice of the people and literary pochvennichestvo are decisive features of the author’s strategy in relation to the criminal protagonist. Beginning with his very fi rst arrival to Sennaya Square after the crime, the voice of the people in its two hypostases, religious-ethical and carnival-square, condemns him and at the same time supports him in his search for an outcome («join the people again»), chartering his way to resurrection.
