Dickens

Just wondering about the continuing influence of Dickens on Russian literature.  Does anyone know of work done on the influence of Dikens on, for example, the works of Akunin?  It's been some years since I've read the Fandorin novels, but I was always struck by the Dickensian themes present.
Looking forward, as always, to your informed comments
