The Turgenev story is probably Stuchit' from Sportsman's Sketches,  
where the driver Filofej hears the noise of a cart accompanied by the  
ringing of bells, and in fear of robbers whips up their troika.  The  
closing in of the cart behind them continues a long time, and through  
fog is all the more unsettling.  They are later overtaken, but  
instead of being robbed or killed as Filofej fears, one of the men  
asks for some money to celebrate a wedding.
