"Although the novel ends in mid-sentence (like Sterne's Sentimental Journey), it is usually regarded as complete in the extant form.[1]" — the citation for this is incredibly weak - it's someone else's citation of one argument, and i'm not convinced that proves it's 'usually regarded' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.108.67.215 ( talk) 02:11, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
I want to revise this, to make it more about the characters themselves, as it's obviously taken from some commentary on Gogol and, frankly, it's ridiculous. AllenHansen ( talk) 22:32, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Dead Souls is not a Satire. Did the writer of this Wikipedia article ever actually even read the book? Seriously.............. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.119.27.19 ( talk) 17:08, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Some of it is taken from Vladimir Nabokov's lecture on Dead Souls in "Lectures on Russian Literature" (i.e. a Gogolian leitmotiv being the "roundness" of poshlust). Once I finish Dead Souls I'll come back here and start putting together a more traditional character list, with some of Nabokov's more colorful characterizations quoted properly.

Please GOD someone make the sections presumably ripped off from Nabokov (which look indistinguishable from some grad student impersonating Nabokov?) more encyclopedic in tone. Right now it looks at first glance like it was written by some wikipedian of almost supernatural pomposity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.208.36.138 ( talk) 08:22, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
I noticed that throughout this article, the main character's name is spelled either Tchitchikoff or Chichikov. Speaking no Russian, I don't know which is correct (or more in keeping with Wikipedia's standards for Russian-to-English transliteration); perhaps someone who does speak the language can help out on this question. In the version of this novel that I read, it's spelled Chichikov. Isaiah ( talk) 16:18, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

The article doesn't explain how a novel in two parts can be a trilogy and how the story of the second part is known if Gogol destroyed it. 2A07:A880:4601:1052:2D42:BF7F:4F48:5C5B ( talk) 23:07, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
Incorrect. The petrine poll tax (подушная подать) was levied on males of taxable estates - that is, the aforementioned serfs. They, and not their owners, were liable for current tax and any arrears. The owner became liable only when a census "soul" had died; instead of taxing the family of the deceased, the state charged the arrears to the owner.
