Annotation:  The article is devoted to identification of gender relation features in early works written by F.M. Dostoyevsky: the novel «Poor People» and the first stories of Dostoyevsky. Identification of Dostoyevsky’s gender psychology ideas, about features of mutual understanding of men and women and about those bases on which relationship of representatives of opposite sexes who have found artistic realization in works of early pre-exile period is based is essentially important. The attention to the designated stage of life and Dostoyevsky's creativity is caused by the fact that genderological pursuits of this period have had significant effect on formation of male and female characters in the later novels of the writer and specifics of the women's and men's relations represented by Dostoyevsky. For Dostoyevsky mutual understanding between the man and the woman, their warm mutual inclinations are possible as the highest moments of their short relations. No less interesting for the writer are drama options of interaction of the man and woman which are connected with motive of «fault for former love», «love-hate», «sinfulness of the fallen woman».

Keywords:  studies, gender relations, female psychology, male psychology, love triangle, maternal feeling.
