The article is devoted to the correlations with the works of “lyubomudrs” (“wise men”) in the early works of N. V. Gogol, who later admitted that these works had on him in his youth. In the early to mid-1830s, he became close to some former “lyubomudrs”, corresponded with them, shared plans and ideas, and discussed issues of creativity, history, and philosophy. This was reflected in the works of his collection Arabesques (1835), where most of the reminiscences were associated with the “Works of D. Venevitinov” (1829; 1831) as a kind of extract of philosophical and aesthetic ideas of “lyubomudrie” (“love to wisdom”).
