'Anna Karenina' and Zhukova's 'Baron Reikhman'

[j.m.andrew at LANG.KEELE.AC.UK]

There are clear similarities between the plot-line of Anna-Karenin-Vronsky
and the plot of Zhukova's 'Baron Reikhman'.

Is it known whether Tolstoy knew the Zhukova work and / or acknowledged
his 'debt'?

Thanks in advance!

Joe
