Who did Goncharov accuse of plagiarizing his works?

  • Ivan Turgenev

  • Fyodor Dostoevsky

  • Anton Chekhov

  • Leo Tolstoy

Answer

Goncharov accused Ivan Turgenev of plagiarizing his works. He believed that Turgenev had stolen the idea for his novel "Fathers and Sons" from his own novel "Oblomov." He also accused Turgenev of plagiarizing the character of Bazarov from his own character of Oblomov. Goncharov's accusations were not taken seriously by the literary community, and Turgenev was never charged with plagiarism.
