The ideas of utopias that are presented by Chernyshevsky and Dostoevsky are vast. Chernyshevsky presented his idea through the eyes of an individual by the name Vera Pavlova. She represented the women of the future that were to be treated with equality. She saw women of the past in her dream, and she learned that she had to be the one to change. In this utopia, people technology and nature came together with easy. The technology allowed them to turn the waste lands like deserts into prospering land where crops could grow. No land in this utopia was wasted. Because there were no waste lands individuals did not seek land to grow crops because it was everywhere.

In this dream, he is brought to the utopia by a black figure similar to a silhouette. Upon entering this perfect society, he brings with him everything that he has learned in his past; the ability to lie and deceive. He shows up and starts interacting with the people, in this he introduces sin to this society. After this he comes to the realization that that is what is wrong with the society he lives in. He brought the downfall to that utopia and turned it into reality. Both of the authors, Chernyshevsky and Dostoevsky present both utopias in dreams of people that seem to have or be struggling in the society they live in. Chernyshevsky presents Vera Pavlova who is a woman who seems to be oppressed, and wants to grow as an individual, but reality will not allow that.

A brief passage from the literary texts that we have read that speaks to the question that I have answered above would come from “What is to be Done?” by Chernyshevsky.

I can relate all of these things to the feeling I get when read “The Bronze Horseman” when looking at the passage from the upper classes perspective. Also, this relates to that because everyone in this utopia has the ability to live how they want. In this passage, what is described to us would allow for people to live the lives that were presented to us in “Oblomov’s Dream.” This is seen in the first part especially. In that
