Voice of Russian Depths
Fyodor Dostoevsky (November 11, 1821 – February 9, 1881) was a Russian novelist and philosopher known for his deep, psychological explorations of human nature and morality. Born in Moscow, he grew up in a strict household and endured many hardships, including poverty, imprisonment, and illness, which influenced his empathetic and probing writing style. His novels, such as Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and Notes from Underground, are renowned for their intense look into the struggles of the human soul, faith, and ethical dilemmas. Dostoevsky’s work captures universal themes of love, guilt, redemption, and suffering, making him one of the most influential writers of Russian literature and a foundational figure in existential philosophy. profile - wikimedia / Constantin Shapiro background - Shutterstock / Karasev Viktor
