Maltsev, Leonid A. "Czesław Miłosz’s “Theological treatise” in the context of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s religious worldview." Slovo.ru: Baltic accent 12, no. 4 (2021): 107–22. http://dx.doi.org/10.5922/2225-5346-2021-4-6.
Full textAbstract:
The article investigates a religious and philosophical dialogue of Miłosz and Dostoevsky. The antinomic content of Miłosz's poem “Theological Treatise” is analyzed in the context of Dostoevsky's Christocentric worldview, as well as religious and heretical teachings of early Christianity, which aroused Milosz's interest throughout his career. In their works, Dostoevsky and Miłosz explored the theological problem of apoсatastasis and offered their interpretation of it. The paper also examines Miłosz’s contribution as an essayist to the comparative study of Dostoevsky's works (Dostoevsky — Mickiewicz and Dostoevsky — Swedenborg). The ideological basis of “Theological Treatise” is the dialectical relationship between faith and truth, which is associated with Miłosz's appeal to Dostoevsky's ‘creed’ from his famous letter to Fonvisina. Like Dostoevsky, Miłosz criticizes the natural-scientific concept of truth in its depersonalized and, therefore, dehumanized version, which seems to the author of “Theological Treatise” as an instrument of ‘devilish theology’. In a dialogue with the traditions of Russian religious philosophy, and above all with Dostoevsky’s legacy, Miłosz turns to the Apocalypse, in which the most aesthetically significant the idea for him is that of restoring paradisiacal existence. However, unlike Dostoevsky, the concept of life after death in “Theological Treatise” is not free from pessimism and skepticism. Miłosz is inclined towards the ideological paradigm of the West, and the concept of “Theological Treatise” includes the ideas of Dostoevsky's unbelieving heroes.

Full textAbstract:
Dostoevsky's main concern was to educate his children, Lyuba and Fedya. After the writer's death, this desire was realized by his widow Anna Grigoryevna. Little was known about the education of Dostoevsky’s children, primarily from memoirs (penned by Anna and Lyubov Dostoevsky, Anna Ostroumova). The article presents previously unknown documents from the Central State Historical Archive of Saint Petersburg (name books, personal statements, etc.), containing information about the education of F. M. Dostoevsky's children: Lyuba — at the Foundry Gymnasium, Fedya — at the F. F. Bychkov Gymnasium (purchased by Ya. Gurevich in 1883). Letters related to the education of Dostoevsky's children were introduced into scientific circulation: Lyuba’s and Fedya’s to their mother, teacher V. Ivanova’s to A. G. Dostoevskaya. In the course of commenting on archival documents, the author emphasizes the continuity between home education and the education of the writer and his children, and reveals the role of A. G. Dostoevskaya in fulfilling Fyodor Mikhailovich's dream: to provide them with a quality education. Home education, first and foremost, the established tradition of family reading, which the Dostoevskys always heeded great attention to, allowed Lyuba to enter the gymnasium at the age of thirteen, bypassing two primary classes, and successfully reach the second, pre-graduation, class. Her classmates were A. P. Ostroumova (Lebedeva) and N. Ya. Polonskaya (Yelachich), who later became famous figures in Russian history. The education received at the gymnasium helped the writer's daughter to prove herself in literature during the years in emigration, to become a Russian writer in Italy, to represent the legacy of Dostoevsky in Europe, and to successfully conduct educational and cultural activities in Italy. The writer’s son Fedya, who studied at the St. Petersburg F. F. Bychkov Gymnasium in 1882-1889, entered the law faculty of the St. Petersburg Imperial University in 1890, became interested in horse breeding, and in the latter years of his life paid great attention to the preservation of his father's handwritten heritage. Thus, the children of F. M. Dostoevsky fulfilled his legacy: “Do not forget to study, both of you”.

Abstract The Dostoevsky couple’s book trade is a separate, vast topic that has recently attracted increasingly greater attention of researchers. Starting in 1872 — the period of preparation of the novel “Demons” (1873) for publication — the Dostoevskys dealt with various publishers, printers, manufacturers and booksellers. The article is based on the 1872–1881 notebooks of F. M. Dostoevsky and the 1876–1918 notebooks of A. G. Dostoevskaya, as well as on scientific literature on publishing and book trade of 19th-century Russia, expanded comments and biographical references to such representatives of the book business as the Vargunin brothers and separately father and son Alexander Ivanovich and Konstantin Alexandrovich Vargunin; the Glazunov brothers and separately Alexander Ilyich and Ivan Ilyich Glazunov. The last representatives of the Glazunov publishing clan, Konstantin Ilyich and Ilya Ivanovich Glazunov, with whom, judging by the notebooks, A. G. Dostoevskaya interacted after the writer’s death, are being discussed for the first time. The article expanded the comment on the surname “Mamontov.” In the research literature on Dostoevsky, the emphasis is placed either exclusively on the writer’s relationship with Nikolai Ivanovich Mamontov, or with Anatoly Ivanovich Mamontov. Based on the notebooks of A. G. Dostoevskaya of 1876–1881, the article demonstrates that the Dostoevskys communicated with both representatives of the Mamontov family at that time. It is also suggested that in the late receipts issued by A. G. Dostoevskaya to a subscriber of the bookstore of a certain N. G. Mamontov, most likely refer to the bookseller N. G. Martynov. A. G. Dostoevskaya’s notebooks of the period after Dostoevsky’s death shows that the widow continued to cooperate with many publishers, booksellers and manufacturers after her husband’s death.

Full textAbstract:
In the 140 years that have passed since the death of F. M. Dostoevsky, almost all of his contemporaries’ memoirs about the writer have been published (in separate books and collections). To date, we can assume that the main corpus of Dostoevsky’s contemporaries’ accounts of him is publicly available. However, this does not mean that it is completely exhausted. A review of newspaper clippings collected by A. G. Dostoevskaya allowed us to identify several notes that were previously unaccounted for and missed by the publishers. For the most part, these are small fragments included by their authors in articles on other topics, nevertheless, they are also of interest to the biographers of F. M. Dostoevsky. The article publishes and comments on the memoirs of A. A. Sokolov, S. Atava, Vogue, V. G. Avseenko, V. F. Putsykovich. They are related to the final years of Dostoevsky's life, capturing distinct features of his everyday behavior, specific phrases and statements. Of interest is the story related by V. G. Avseenko about Dostoevsky's attitude to the political events in Europe, as well as Dostoevsky's commentary on his “The Grand Inquisitor,” was recorded by V. F. Putskovich after a meeting in Berlin in 1879.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the philosophical interpretations of Dostoevsky's work in Bulgaria in the first half of the twentieth century. Dostoevsky's initial presence in Bulgaria was investigated as well the response of the Bulgarian intelligentsia to his ideas compared to those of Tolstoy. The beneficial influence on the image of the writer as a thinker, philosopher, exerted by the Russian emigration in Bulgaria since the beginning of the 1920s is noted. Particular emphasis is placed on the work of Petr Bitsill, one of the best experts in the field of Dostoevsky studies. The types of interpretations of Dostoevsky as a philosopher are distinguished as follows: Dostoevsky as a Nietzschean. Dostoevsky and Nietzsche (opposition and identification) – bearing in mind the strong influence of Nietzsche in Bulgaria since the beginning of the twentieth century; Dostoevsky as one of the founders of Russian religious philosophy – considering the penetration of the Silver Age ideas in Bulgaria; Dostoevsky and psychoanalysis; Dostoevsky as a religious philosopher and innovator. The author concludes that the study of the peculiarities of the reception of Dostoevsky’s work in Bulgarian culture of the first half of the twentieth century reveals not only the variety of world views but also the specifics of the national spiritual tradition.

Full textAbstract:
In August 1831, the parents of Fyodor Dostoevsky purchased an estate in the Kashirsky district of the Tula Province, consisting of the hamlet of Darovoe and the village of Darovaya. In February 1833, they bought the neighboring village of Cheremoshnya. The entire property, including the above-named villages and hamlet, also included land plots in the wastelands: Nechaeva, Trypillya, Harina, Shelepova and Chertkova. Having become the owners of 58 peasant souls and more than 500 dessiatines of land, the Dostoevskys were considered average local landowners. However, Darovoe, well-known as the childhood place of the writer Fyodor Dostoevsky, remains poorly studied from an economic point of view. One of the reasons is that today there are very few documents that could reliably indicate the economic condition of the estate for the memorial period. An exception is the monograph of V. S. Nechaeva “In the Dostoevsky family and estate,” published in 1939, where, based on the correspondence of M. F. Dostoevskaya and M. A. Dostoevsky, the author claims that the estate they acquired was not merely unprofitable, but also caused a family tragedy. The opinion of V. S. Nechaeva became fundamental for researchers of the writer's biography. However, this issue can be revised today, which is what the presented work is devoted to. The correspondence of Fyodor Dostoevsky's parents, the letters of his older brother M. M. Dostoevsky, who was the guardian over the estate and the Memoirs of the younger brother of A. M. Dostoevsky in the aggregate allow to take a fresh look at the estate and the income it brought. In the context of this problem, it is of interest to refer to the newly published “Report of the headman of the village of Darovoe Savin Makarov to Mikhail Mikhailovich Dostoevsky” dated October 8, 1850. The document was discovered in the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art and complements the well-known sources on the economic condition of the Dostoevsky estate.

Full textAbstract:
The playwright, publicist and theater critic D. V. Averkiev began his literary career in the journal published by the brothers Mikhail and Fyodor Dostoevsky “Epokha” (1864–1865). The young employee considered F. M. Dostoevsky his principal teacher. On many issues, he shared the beliefs of the editor of the “Epokha,” and Dostoevsky, in turn, gave the publicist the opportunity to express those ideas that he himself did not have the time to embody. The article traces the polemic of Averkiev, which represents the editorial point of view of the “Epokha”, with the opinions of N. M. Kostomarov and D. I. Pisarev on the significance of the Battle of Kulikovo and Prince Dmitry Donskoy in the history of Russia. After the closure of the “Epokha” magazine, the relationship between Averkiev and Dostoevsky persisted. The writer praised Averkiev’s comedy about Frol Skabeev, anticipating its theatrical success. The publicist was a guarantor for the groom at the wedding of Dostoevsky and A. G. Snitkina, a witness to the triumph that followed the writer’s speech at the Pushkin celebrations in Moscow, and an administrator at Dostoevsky's funeral. Averkiev and his wife helped the writer’s widow in the work aimed at preserving his legacy. Averkiev’s artistic work created in the period after Dostoevsky’s death is imbued with a sense of love and deep respect for the memory of the great writer. In 1885–1886 following Dostoevsky, he published a monthly journal, “A Writer’s Diary”, which was doomed to failure and provoked mixed reactions from readers (reviews by S. A. Vengerov, P. M. Tret’yakov, and I. E. Repin are provided). The article analyzes the contents of the correspondence between Averkiev and Dostoevsky in 1877, for the first time Averkiev’s note to Dostoevsky asking for financial assistance dated 1863–1864 was published, and new documents were introduced into scientific circulation. Among them is a draft of a biographical sketch about Dostoevsky written by Averkiev for the second edition of the Complete Works of the writer (1885–1886), and letters from Averkiev to A. G. Dostoevskaya for 1884 and 1891.

Full textAbstract:
The influence of the critic V. P. Burenin on the public life of the 1860s — 1880s is great: his popularity was comparable to that of V. G. Belinsky in the 1840s. According to B. B. Glinsky, everyone has secretly read Burenin's feuilletons, even those who despised the newspaper Novoe Vremya (New Time) and personally hated its critical columnist for the sharpness and rudeness of his polemical style. The article examines the evolution of the critic's views of F. M. Dostoevsky’s work and his role in Russian journalism and literature. In the initial period of his activity, V. P. Burenin tended to adhere to common moods and assessments, and scolded Dostoevsky. Gradually, he realized the scale of Dostoevsky's writing gift. Already a famous and influential author of the Novoe Vremya (New Time), V. P. Burenin became a great admirer, friend and defender of the writer. He was one of the few critics who appreciated the Writer's Diary. After Dostoevsky's death, Burenin maintained good communication with the writer's widow. Their correspondence makes it clear that A. G. Dostoevskaya considered Burenin her colleague in preserving the legacy of her late husband. The letters contain previously unknown information, namely, that the correspondence of the Novoe Vremya (New Time) about the fire in Staraya Russa were penned by A. G. Dostoevskaya herself, as well as some other information about Dostoevsky and the fate of his legacy.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents an overview of a little-researched archival source — the notebooks of Anna Dostoevskaya. About 100 notebooks kept by the writer’s wife have been preserved in Moscow and St. Petersburg archives. They were created between 1875 and 1917, covering the last five years of Dostoevsky’s life and the time after his death. However, they did not arouse much interest among researchers due to the prevalence of economic and business records in them. Selected entries and pages were published by L. P. Grossman, I. L. Volgin, S. V. Belov, T. N. Ornatskaya, A. V. Arkhipova, I. S. Andrianova, T. V. Panyukova. Many records of undoubted historical and literary significance still haven’t been introduced into scientific circulation, among them sketches of excerpts from “A Writer’s Diary” and memories of Dostoevsky; lists of types of his favorite places and paintings, pharmacy prescriptions; pasted or rewritten letters from readers and documents of the Dostoevsky family; records related to the movement of the writer’s manuscripts, books and the belongings after his death, and to his widow’s work to create the first in Russia “Dostoevsky Memorial Museum,” to establish a school named after him in Staraya Russa, and others. The article provides examples of unpublished records that are of value for biographers (the names of Dostoevsky’s servants in 1875–1876, Maria of Baden’s, Princess Maria Maximilianovna of Leuchtenberg, impression of the writer’s work and death, Dostoevsky’s words remembered by his widow, a rough sketch for his memoirs). Based on the study of economic notes by A. G. Dostoevskaya, it is hypothesized that Dostoevsky’s maid Lukerya could have been the prototype of a servant with the same name from the ‘fantastic short story’ “A Gentle Creature” and the novel “The Adolescent.” A letter written by A. G. Dostoevskaya to E. F. Junge whose autograph is lost was discovered in one of the notebooks. A. G. Dostoevskaya’s notebooks are a genuine treasure trove of materials related to Dostoevsky and his era. They required research, systematization, chronological attribution and publication.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the publishing business and book trade of F. M. and A. G. Dostoevsky. Anna Grigoryevna has begun to actively participate in her husband’s creative process as a stenographer and copyist since 1866, and in the publishing business — since 1873. The publishing business of the Dostoevsky family is considered in the article against the background of the publishing process of the 19th century, which consisted of the author’s prepress work on the text together with the editor, publisher, typographer, printing factor, metranpage, proofreader, censor. Anna Grigorievna worked on the proofs along with Dostoevsky. After the publication of the book or a magazine issue, the book trade began, which described in the memoirs of A. G. Dostoevskaya, her letters and notebooks, which contained systematic records related to the distribution of “A Writer’s Diary” and the sale of books. The names of publishers, booksellers and subscribers are regularly mentioned in F. M. Dostoevsky’s notebook of 1875–1876, as well as in A. G. Dostoevskaya’s notebooks of 1875–1884. However, there is no proper commentary in the scientific literature on many names, or, if present, it is not entirely accurate. The author of the article, in particular, found out which of the five Pechatkin brothers is mentioned in the notebooks of F. M. Dostoevsky and his wife, what are the booksellers from Kazan Dubrovina famous for, who distributed “A Writer’s Diary”, who is S. I. Litov and what led to the popularity of his bookstore in Kiev. This material will allow us to better imagine how publishing and book trade developed not only for Dostoevskys in particular, but also in the 19th century as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis attempts a comparative study of Conrad and Dostoevsky. In doing so, it proposes a significant relationship between the ideological, political and literary worlds of both authors. The work is undertaken in eight chapters. Chapter One explores Conrad and Dostoevsky's respective national and cultural identities. It reflects on Conrad's recorded reactions to Dostoevsky and his work, and speculates on the latter's likely response to Conrad. Chapter Two challenges established critical formulae that suggest Dostoevsky is a purely 'Dionysian' writer. The view that Conrad is a consummate 'Apollonian' artist is similarly brought into question. Chapter Three considers Conrad and Dostoevsky as major literary innovators. To support my argument, Bakhtin's critical concepts of 'polyphony' and 'monology' are introduced, and applied in a Dostoevskyan and Conradian context. Especially highlighted is my debate on Conrad's 'polyphonic' narrative technique in Lord Jim (1900). The notable fusion of disparate literary genres in Conrad and Dostoevsky's novels is explored in Chapter Four. Elements of 'adventure', 'thriller', 'romance', and 'detective' fiction are identified in each novelist's world. My argument, however, restricts itself to an extensive analysis of the surprising importance of the 'Gothic' elements in both writers' worlds. Chapters Five and Six, concentrate on Conrad and Dostoevsky's profound insights into the fundamental character of the human personality. Chapter Five considers their parallel interpretations of mankind's quintessentially materialist nature. Chapter Six looks at their strikingly similar visions of man's violent and carnal identity, and his primary urge to dominate other weaker individuals. Chapters Seven and Eight consider two central themes in Conrad and Dostoevsky's fiction, that of anarchist politics and nihilism respectively. Their political and ideological responses to these issues are investigated in some detail, and significant interpretive parallels established. Finally, the conclusion undertakes to once again assure the reader of the surprising and unsuspected bonds that exist between these two seemingly alien writers.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between Dostoevsky and epilepsy, suggesting that his works can be characterized by a mode of existence which is epileptic by nature. An attack of epilepsy is depicted in two phases: immense anxiety of the outbreak of a seizure; and its sudden attack, during which consciousness completely collapses. I suggest that Dostoevsky's writings can be understood in terms of these two phases: an infinite alternation between the desire to seize upon a critical moment and the impossibility of experiencing it. The thesis examines five of Dostoevsky's post-Siberian novels to illuminate this particular existence, this epileptic mode of being. Chapter 1 looks at Humiliated and Insulted to show that the seemingly selfless pursuit of moral ideals is a form of egoism. Vanya (Ivan Petrovich) sacrifices his personal interests and strictly binds himself to the moral law, incarnating Kantian moral imperatives. Discussing Freud on masochism and Jacques Lacan on Kantian ethics, this chapter shows that philanthropy is a form of idealism which privileges the ascetic ideal and despises the body. The chapter also shows how moral idealism is mocked and suspended under the power of epilepsy. Chapter 2, on Crime and Punishment, demonstrates how Dostoevsky's Petersburg is depicted as enigmatic, even 'epileptic', disconfirming subjectivity. The eclectic style of the city's architecture - specifically St. Isaac's Cathedral - makes the Petersburger disoriented and decentred. Similarly, the chapter demonstrates that the meanings of 'crime' and 'punishment' are pluralized in Raskolnikov's dreams, revealing a splitting of identity. Due to this schizophrenic nature of the urban subject, there can be no single knowledge of why Raskolnikov commits the murder. Chapter 3 explores the split subject in The Idiot. Prince Myshkin wants to reflect on the final moment just before consciousness collapses. He likes to freeze that moment and contemplate the possibility of an afterlife. But this wish is eclipsed by the seizure or, in the case of a guillotine execution, the immediate arrival of death, which continues to create a contradictory existence. Chapter 4 examines Kirilov and his suicide plan in Demons to show that the epileptic has a will to master death: he has a will to the knowledge of death. But paradoxically, death is something ungraspable and cannot be appropriated into the realm of experience. Death as well as epilepsy eludes the self who wants to grasp it. This chapter also discusses Nietzsche on nihilism and Maurice Blanchot's comments on Kirilov's suicide. Chapter 5 suggests a form of 'feminine' epilepsy in The Brothers Karamazov, which I link with the hysterics who suffer from their reminiscences. I show that epilepsy is a moment of rupture of repressed violence. Epilepsy not only disrupts Vanya's moral idealism, Petersburg's pure architectural style, the Prince and Kirilov's wishes for an eternal life, but it also evokes what is repressed beneath these thoughts. This chapter ends with Walter Benjamin's angel of history, showing how the novel unveils a family history which is violent and silenced. The thesis concludes with Blanchot's The Instant of My Death, suggesting that the epileptic mode of being demands the Dostoevsky's heroes to live in infinite postponement, which necessitates a Dostoevskian subject which is infinitely deferred and unfinalized.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter begins with an overview of the translation of Russian literature in China and of Fedor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821-1881) in particular. It next examines two translators Geng Jizhi and Lu Xun, whose work respectively demonstrates the value of microhistorical methodology in translation history (Geng) and the difficulty of assimilating Dostoevsky’s philosophy into the Chinese cultural mode (Lu Xun). The early twentieth century witnessed the gradual reception of Dostoevsky in China, including the publication and introduction of his short stories in newspapers. Originally, English translations were the primary intermediary for Dostoevsky’s works in China. Not until the 1940s was the first translation directly from Russian completed by the translator Geng Jizhi. Chinese scholars and readers creatively misread some of Dostoevsky’s ideas; their adaptations of his work reflected their own social status and cultural milieu. Due to the dominant theme of ‘literature for life’ in early twentieth-century China, Chinese scholars positioned Dostoevsky as ‘a realist writer’. Hence their choices for translation and research mainly served pressing nationalist ideological principles. Partly because of Dostoevsky’s strong religious sensibility, a gap persists between his gloomy, laboured style and traditional Chinese cultural promotion of gentleness and generosity in aesthetics, thus distancing Chinese readers from his writing. Dostoevsky’s interpretation and promotion by the important Chinese writer Lu Xun (1881-1936) transformed the former’s reception in twentieth-century China. His articles ‘An Introduction to Poor Folk’ and ‘Something about Dostoevsky’ sent Chinese Dostoevsky research in a new direction.

This chapter focuses on the history of Dostoevsky’s academic and intellectual reception in Romania. Relying primarily on the seminal work of scholar Dinu Pillat (1921-1975), my discussion begins with the pre-Communist period, a milieu dominated by nationalist and religious ideas. I move next to the Communist period, during which, after a couple of decades where Dostoevsky was virtually absent, a series of scholars praised the author and created robust scholarship. Following a chronological framework, this chapter also examines how literary and theological interpretations of Dostoevsky changed in Romania after the fall of the totalitarian regime. Analysing Dostoevsky’s reception in Romania shows how his work gains in meaning and context relative to the culture or society that his writings inform. We also see how his own political and religious views made him attractive for some and problematic for others. The Romanian experience shows that genuine philosophical value transcends political interests.

Full textAbstract:
The article focuses on Thomas Mann’s reception of Dostoevsky‘s Notes from Underground and is based on materials (books and annotations) from Thomas Mann’s personal library (Thomas-Mann-Archiv, ETH-Zurich). The annotated passages can be assigned to two complexes of themes: first, human nature’s inherent inclination to destruction and chaos versus the concept of civilization, second, the narrator’s self-characterization. The annotations will be compared with quotes from Mann‘s essay Dostoevsky — in Moderation, which illuminates the importance of the Notes from Underground for the reception of Dostoevsky by Mann and also shows the characteristics of its later interpretation by Mann. Features of the Underground Man he attributes himself with, Mann partially transfers onto his image of Dostoevsky by using quotes from Dostoevsky’s text to describe its author. The Underground Man’s polemic against positivsm is read as a strongly related to Mann’s contemporary historic discourses and contexts — German National Socialism, the Second World War and its consequences. Of many mediators for Dostoevsky’s reception by Mann, two will be examined in this article: Merezhkovsky, who also uses Notes from Underground to characterize Dostoevsky, and Hermann Rohl, whose translation of Dostoevsky’s novel serves Mann as a source for his essay.

Abstract This chapter examines Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky's aesthetics and ethics as featured in his works The Idiot and Demons. Dostoevsky was raised in the Russian Orthodox tradition, whose emphasis on beauty can be seen in its liturgy and iconography, both of which emphasize Christ’s resurrection. The pairing of ethics and aesthetics infuses Dostoevsky’s treatment of visual imagery and ekphrasis in his fiction. Dostoevsky’s novel The Idiot powerfully dramatizes the fraught relationship between the beautiful and the good, while Demons highlights the beauty and places it in the context of an intergenerational struggle between fathers and children.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The commentary includes discussion of Dostoevsky and film, Dostoevsky and existentialism, and ‘the woman question’. With regard to film, Dostoevsky’s novels have attracted many filmmakers, in Russia and globally, and key examples are considered, notably Robert Bresson, who adapted several Dostoevsky novels for the screen. Dostoevsky is widely associated with existentialism and was approvingly cited by Jean-Paul Sartre in the lecture that popularized existentialism. However, Dostoevsky’s conception of the human personality was markedly different from Sartrean existentialism, as Simone de Beauvoir noted. The importance of the woman question in Dostoevsky’s novels and publicist writings is discussed at length. The relation of the sexes is perennially present in literature, but in Dostoevsky’s case this is sharpened by nineteenth-century debates about women’s emancipation. Although aspects of his views are traditional and sentimental, he also embraced and promoted other aspects of women’s emancipation, especially with regard to education, while exposing the roots of male violence against women.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The commentary contains the first of three discussions of Dostoevsky’s politics, the philosopher V. S. Solovyov, and ‘living life’, i.e. the vitalist element in Dostoevsky’s world view. The commentary tracks the development of Dostoevsky’s political views and his post-Siberia faith in tsar, people, and Orthodoxy and his analysis of the threat to Russia from Western liberal ideas and their radical application by Russian nihilists, as portrayed in The Possessed. The claim that Russia is a ‘god-bearing’ nation is examined and it is argued that, against some commentators, this is not Dostoevsky’s own view, without significant qualification. The career and thought of V. S. Solovyov and his relation to Dostoevsky are introduced, and his sophiological speculations are commented on. His speeches on Dostoevsky show how he developed Dostoevsky’s social thought in a universal, rather than narrowly nationalistic, direction. Lastly, it is argued that Dostoevsky, like Solovyov, saw human history as developing a movement that is found in the immediate experience of life, linking human destiny to that of the cosmos as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The postscript revisits Dostoevsky’s politics for a third time in the light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Noting the use made of Dostoevsky by contemporary Russian nationalists, including President Putin, the commentary considers whether the view encountered on the internet that Dostoevsky ‘would have’ supported the invasion is examined. However, this view depends on a problematic identification of the present-day Russian state with the Orthodox tsarist autocracy of Dostoevsky’s own time, which seems highly questionable in view of the titanic disruptions of Russian history in the twentieth century. Although the elements to which nationalists appeal are present in Dostoevsky’s text, their application to present-day circumstances requires handling with care. While Dostoevsky looked to the moral reform of Russian society, his nationalism arguably has a spiritual and religious character that directly political applications fail to consider.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The narrator encounters Dostoevsky in Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Park. He has been handed a pamphlet in the cause of Scottish independence. This occasions a discussion of nationalism and Dostoevsky’s view that the experience of brotherhood, lacking in the West, is a defining feature of Russia and its historical significance. He explains his support for Russia’s intervention in the Balkan Wars. The narrator worries that this is an exclusive view, implying that Russians have a superior access to truth. They are joined by the philosopher V. S. Solovyov, who argues that Dostoevsky’s view of humanity is not nationalistic but universal. However, he and Dostoevsky disagree about the Church. Dostoevsky and Solovyov explain to the narrator that human history is the progressive fulfilment of a process of life discernible already in the life of nature.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The chapter restates Dostoevsky’s views on Jews and Judaism from the Diary of a Writer and examines the portrayal of Jews in his fiction. There is clear evidence of anti-Semitism, but the fictional nature of the texts must be borne in mind and it is questionable whether Dostoevsky believed, as some have argued, in the blood libel against Jews. The phenomenon of Russian Jewish commentators on Dostoevsky is discussed. The commentary next proceeds with a second discussion of Dostoevsky’s politics, showing how his thoughts were appropriated by leading figures of the conservative revolution in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s. However, it is also argued that they represent only one part of the reception of Dostoevsky in this time and his work also appealed to those of the opposite political persuasion.

The article examines episodes of M.M. Bakhtin's personality and ideas in the 1950s. Based on the analysis of materials found in the scholar's personal archive, the testimonies of contemporaries, and surviving correspondence, it is concluded that M.M. Bakhtin's name and works during this period were known to a much larger circle of scholars than previously thought, and that the dialogue with Bakhtin about Dostoevsky was becoming an important part of Soviet Dostoevsky studies in the second half of the 1950s.

Full textAbstract:
The Drought (1927), a short story by Georgian writer Aleksandre Kutateli (1898-1982), draws a picture of one of the regions of Georgia at the beginning of the twentieth century when the country was a part of the Russian Empire and the revolutionary unrest was gradually stirring up there. The story describes (the last, enlarged version of the short story was published in 1974) a Georgian village where the drought and the epidemic outbreak is raging, ruthlessly destroying the plants, the animals and the people. Such state of affairs inspires apocalyptic fears and feelings among the village residents. The characters in the story fall under two categories: the people with religious sentiments and apocalyptic expectations, on the one hand, and the characters with a revolutionary spirit, who plan to change the existing order in state and are getting ready to establish a new political order, on the other hand. As the epilogue of the story tells, it is the young revolutionary forces that achieve victory when the communist government is already established in the country. One of the protagonist of the story is an archpriest named Iakob Pkhakadze, a well-educated clergyman with no personal belief, who uses the religious feelings of the others in order to gain power over the people and to control them. This character seems to understand religion the same way as the Grand Inquisitor from the novel The Brothers Karamazov (1880) by Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) did. It seems plausible to suggest that Kutateli, while perceiving Dostoevsky’s Inquisitor and creating his own image of archpriest Pkhakadze, was inspired by the work of Vasily Rozanov (1856-1919), namely The Legend of the Grand Inquisitor by F. M. Dostoevsky (1894), as this book had a notable impact on the twentieth-century modernist writers in general, and on the Georgian modernists in particular.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study is to determine the features of the structure and functioning of the fear motive in F.M. Dostoevsky’s “fantastic story” “The Dream of a Ridiculous Man” and in A. Petrov’s cartoon of the same name. The report first examines the images, details, etc., with which the fear motive is created in the story, and then analyzes the ways of embodying this motive and transmitting a certain frightening atmosphere in the cinema. There is revealed and determined the ontological significance and the main character of fear in the “The Dream of a Ridiculous Man”, which, in our opinion, manifests itself in the fundamental nature and primacy of this feeling in human nature. It can be observed in the transition from the dream world, not defiled by the fall, to the terrible reality of St. Petersburg, described in the story. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that a comprehensive analysis of the fear motive in the story of F. M. Dostoevsky and the peculiarities of the interpretation of this motive in the animated film by A. Petrov has not been carried out before. The study revealed, firstly, a number of repetitive means by which the fear motive is formed in both works (and their functions were determined), and secondly, there was noted the originality of the representation of the analyzed motive in the cinema.
