When I said that you were mistaken, I meant that Nabokov's Luzhin is not even a distant relative, but merely a namesake, of the character in Crime and Punishment (who comes from a Volgan town). The name may be the same, but the etymology is different.
And, yes, puddles in Gogol, Nekrasov, Dostoevsky and Nabokov are all different.
