The article compares the two “literary portraits” of a Livonian politician and military leader Johann Reingold Patkul, created almost simultaneously in Russian and Brazilian romantic literature. The main attention is paid to the analysis of psychological motivations and stylistic techniques used by I.I. Lazhechnikov and A. Gonçalves Diaz. The difference between the artistic methods used by both authors is connected not only with the peculiarities of the of the literary genres chosen by them, but also with the general trends in the development of Russian and Brazilian romanticism in the second third of the 19th century.
