| Summary: | It is well known that F.M. Dostoevsky was fascinated by Vladimir Spasovich. In fact the Russian writer devoted to him a large section of his Diary of a writer, and consider him as a prototype for creating Fetjukovich, the Dmitry Karamazov’s attorney.
The present analysis aims to investigate the nature of the reflections about Spasovich by the comparison, only worked on drafts of the Diary, between the lawyer and the Tacitean Vibulenus.
Secondly, this research will show the presence of another literary Spasovich’s alter ego in Brothers Karamazov: Ippolit Kirillovich, who embodies the Spasovich’s passion for criminal psychology and physiology.
Finally, they will be explained the reasons for the creation of two "doubles" and the contrasting mechanisms of what we might call a "moral lesson" given by the evocative devices of storytelling.
