The aim of this paper is to study the determinations of two important authors (Aziz Nesin and Nicolai Gogol) in their tragicomic works (Yasar Ne Yasar Ne Yasamaz, Mufettis) about the bureaucracy and governmental mechanism in contexts of Public Choice Theory and theories of bureaucracy, and to reveal similarities and differences between government and bureaucracy of 19th Century Czardom Russian Period and 20th Century Turkish Republic through perspectives of novelists who are the witnesses of their times. Determining the relationship between similarities or differences aforementioned and theories of bureaucracy and inefficiency of the state will offer significant clues about probable sociological, historical and economical roots of similar and different aspects of bureaucratic structures in Turkish and Russian Societies. The consequence of study reveals clearly considerable similarity between bureaucracy and governmental understandings of 19th Century Russia and 20th Century Turkey, in spite of distinct historical circumstances.
