Created as aid to tracking the characters in Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, in which each character is known by several apparently unrelated names.
Any characters not listed here are not particularly important.
The left column is the common name, if available. The middle column
is what appears to be the more formal name. Where there are blanks,
the author did not use this type of name for this person. Both names
are used by the narrator, but either one seems to be used by other characters.
