The               following               is               a               look               at               the               life               of               Fyodor               Dostoevsky.

I               recently               wrote               a               review               of               his               book               Crime               &               Punishment,               however,               this               piece               focuses               more               on               the               character               of               the               man               himself               and               discusses               his               ideas               and               how               they               worked               their               way               into               Crime               &               Punishment.

This               is,               unlike               my               other               work,               not               a               book               review.

Instead,               it               is               an               analysis               and               contains               spoilers.

Fyodor               Dostoevsky               is               best               known               to               the               world               as               a               novelist               but               this               is               an               inaccurate               title               for               such               a               man;               Fyodor               Dostoevksy               was               instead               a               philosopher               who               used               novels               as               the               vehicle               for               his               message.

His               work               consists               of               larger               than               life               characters               who               are               symbolic               personifications               for               various               philosophical               ideas               set               against               the               realistic               backdrop               of               19th               century               Russia               and               borrows               storylines               from               his               own               autobiography;               his               aim               was               to               present               the               Orthodox               Christian               worldview               and               traditional               Russian               values               as               superior               to               the               corrupt               modernistic               and               largely               Western               worldviews               that               were               coming               into               vogue               in               his               country               at               the               time.

His               own               life               story               was               itself               a               tale               of               his               transformation               from               an               adherent               of               atheistic               socialist               positivism               to               the               Christian               Orthodox               worldview               that               would               be               so               prevalent               in               his               books;               for               Fyodor               Dostoevsky               life               did               indeed               imitate               art.
               Born               on               November               11,               1821               in               Moscow,               Russia,               Dostoevsky's               childhood               was               made               traumatic               by               the               presence               of               his               abusive               father.

Mikhail               Dostoevsky               was               a               doctor               at               a               hospital               for               the               poor               in               Moscow,               and               Fyodor               often               liked               to               spend               time               reading               to               the               patients               within.

At               home               Fyodor               and               his               siblings               were               subjected               to               a               strict               religious               upbringing               under               the               tutelage               of               their               fanatical               father               in               addition               to               his               peculiar               methods               of               cruel               treatment               for               his               wife               and               children.

For               instance,               Fyodor               and               his               siblings               were               forced               to               stand               perfectly               still               next               to               their               father               each               day               as               he               napped,               swatting               away               flies               when               they               came               close               to               his               head               lest               they               be               subjected               to               his               abuse.


               Eventually               the               elder               Dostoevsky               attained               enough               rank               to               move               up               from               his               job               as               a               doctor               and               purchased               land               and               serfs               and               his               family               began               spending               more               of               their               time               in               the               countryside.

The               younger               Dostoevsky               began               to               hold               a               place               in               his               heart               for               the               plight               of               the               serfs               and               resented               the               poverty               and               harsh               treatment               they               faced               at               the               hands               of               his               father.

In               addition,               he               became               more               angry               at               the               cruel               behavior               that               his               father               perpetrated               to               his               mother,               who               he               loved.

After               his               mother's               death               when               he               was               fifteen,               young               Dostoevsky               went               to               attend               school               at               the               Academy               of               Military               Engineers               in               St.

Petersburg.

While               he               was               in               St.

Petersburg               but               a               year               after               his               mother's               death,               Fyodor               Dostoevsky               and               his               siblings               were               orphaned               after               his               father               died,               most               likely               having               been               murdered               by               his               own               serfs.

(Gocsik).
               Dostoevsky               began               his               literary               career               while               living               in               St.

Petersburg               during               the               early               1840s,               publishing               a               translation               of               a               novel               by               French               author               Honore               de               Balzac               into               Russian.

Having               retained               a               military               commission               due               to               his               time               at               the               Military               Engineer's               Academy               for               the               past               few               years,               Dostoevsky               decided               to               move               onto               literature               full               time               and               left               the               military.

He               wrote               his               first               book               in               1844,               a               novella               called               Poor               Folk,               which               received               great               praise               from               Vissarion               Belinsky,               then               Russia's               top               literary               critic.

Dostoevsky               was               initiated               into               Belinsky's               social               circle               and               began               spending               time               among               the               Russian               literati,               who               at               that               time               held               staunchly               left-wing               and               atheist               views               which               Dostoevsky               himself               soon               became               enamored               in               and               adopted               the               guise               of               a               political               radical.

(Magarshack               602)
               Dostoevsky               became               an               advocate               of               the               utopian               socialist               ideals               of               French               philosopher               Charles               Fourier               and               rejected               his               Christian               upbringing               entirely               (Meyer               xviii).

Finding               Belinsky               not               radical               enough               for               his               taste               and               growing               angry               at               his               negative               reviews               of               his               further               literary               work,               Dostoevsky               left               Belinsky's               circle               and               began               associating               with               the               even               more               radical               socialist               Mikhail               Petrashevsky.

By               1849               Dostoevsky               was               on               the               skids               and               dedicating               almost               all               his               time               to               advocating               radical               politics,               feeling               that               his               days               as               a               writer               were               on               the               wane.

After               decimating               illegal               political               materials,               the               entire               Petrashevsky               Circle               was               arrested               in               April               of               '49               and               the               poor               young               writer               with               a               single               success               in               the               distant               past               would               began               a               transformation               that               would               affect               his               work               for               the               rest               of               his               life,               most               importantly               Crime               and               Punishment.
               Dostoevsky               was               accused               of               being               the               ringleader               of               the               group,               perhaps               due               to               his               status               as               a               minor               literary               influence.

Whatever               role               he               ultimately               played,               he               found               himself               facing               a               death               sentence               in               late               1849               and               would               have               most               likely               have               gone               down               as               yet               another               in               a               long               line               of               executed               radicals               if               it               were               not               for               a               truly               extraordinary               event.

On               December               22               of               that               year               he               and               his               comrades               were               chained               up               waiting               to               be               executed               when               they               were               issued               a               last-minute               commutation               of               their               death               sentence               and               instead               would               find               themselves               transferred               to               Siberia               for               hard               labor.

(Magarshack               603)               It               was               at               this               turn               that               Dostoevsky's               life               truly               began               to               imitate               that               of               his               main               character               in               Crime               and               Punishment,               a               book               he               would               not               write               for               sixteen               more               years.


               In               Crime               and               Punishment               the               main               character,               Raskolnikov,               a               down               and               out               student,               murders               a               pawnbroker               and               her               sister.

Raskolnikov,               like               Dostoevsky,               was               raised               Russian               Orthodox               but               moved               away               toward               a               socialist               perspective               and               came               to               question               his               religion.

He               attempts               to               justify               his               act               on               utilitarian               grounds               and               the               idea               that               he               is               so               gracious               in               his               desire               to               redistribute               her               wealth               to               the               poor               that               he               theorizes               that               he               is               above               morality.

To               make               a               long               story               short               Raskolnikov               is               eventually               apprehended               and               sent               to               Siberia               for               punishment               and               eventually               is               "redeemed"               to               Eastern               Orthodoxy.
               Dostoevsky               would               begin               a               return               to               his               old               views               while               in               prison,               much               as               his               character               later               would.

On               his               way               to               Siberia               Dostoevsky               would               be               given               a               copy               of               the               New               Testament               by               the               wife               of               an               exiled               political               radical,               a               book               which               would               be               the               only               reading               material               he               was               allowed               while               in               prison.

While               he               was               there,               Dostoevsky               made               a               radical               transformation               and               converted               to               Christianity.

(Freeborn               38-40).

After               his               release               he               served               in               the               Siberian               regiment,               married,               and               returned               to               St.

Petersburg               where               he               resumed               his               literary               career.

By               this               time               Dostoevsky               had               firmly               rejected               the               views               of               the               Petrashevsky               Circle               in               both               religion               and               politics,               becoming               a               conservative               advocate               of               Russian               nationalism               and               defender               of               Tsarism               whose               views               would               grow               more               reactionary               as               time               went               on.

(Magarshack               603).
               Dostoevsky's               work               began               to               take               on               the               theme               that               would               become               dominant,               which               is               the               affirmation               of               the               Orthodox               worldview               and               traditional               Russian               values               against               utilitarianism,               atheism,               socialism,               and               other               Western,               positivistic               values.

Indeed,               I               read               Crime               and               Punishment               in               particular               as               almost               a               parable               against               the               positivist               view               of               life               and               in               favor               of               Orthodoxy.

Dostoevsky,               ever               the               social               advocate,               was               using               his               works               more               as               a               vehicle               for               philosophy               than               for               literature.

Crime               and               Punishment               falls               clearly               into               the               category               of               philosophical               novel.
               It               is               inarguable               that               the               character               of               Raskolnikov               is               not               so               much               a               representation               of               the               early               Dostoevsky               as               it               was               his               early               ideas.

There               is               also               little               doubt               that               Sonia,               a               religious               prostitute               who               leads               Raskolnikov               back               to               Orthodox               Christianity               is               not               a               character               so               much               as               she               is               a               living               representation               of               the               worldview               she               holds.

Raskolnikov's               symbolism               is               revealed               in               his               name;               the               term               "raskolnik"               meaning               "schismatic"               and               represents               his               fealty               to               Western               values               rather               than               Russian               ones,               indeed               his               middle               name               "Romanovich"               is               often               taken               to               be               an               allusion               to               the               City               of               Rome,               seat               of               Catholicism,               a               tradition               that               to               Dostoevsky               must               have               represented               the               fount               of               Western               thought.

(Meyer)               In               spite               of               the               unrealism               of               his               characters,               Dostoevsky               sets               the               stories               in               a               fairly               realistic               representation               of               St.

Petersburg,               nonetheless               spliced               with               surreal               sequences.
               Dostoevsky               goes               to               great               pains               to               show               the               amoral               nature               of               ideals               like               utilitarianism,               socialism,               and               atheism.

He               also               keeps               the               reader               on               edge               and               does               not               surmise               the               story               until               the               Epilogue,               where               in               a               clear               parallel               to               the               writer's               own               life,               Raskolnikov               spends               his               days               in               prison               reading               the               Bible               and               regenerating               back               to               Christianity.

As               I               said,               the               characters               are               living               personifications               of               ideas,               and               I               personally               would               interpret               Crime               and               Punishment               as               a               work               that               is               more               or               less               an               allegory               for               what               was               going               on               in               Dostoevsky's               brain.


               Though               Dostoevsky               never               wrote               a               literary               manifesto               or               anything               of               the               sort,               it               is               axiomatic               to               me               that               his               goal               was               to               redeem               Russia               from               the               direction               its               people               were               taking               in               moving               toward               socialism               and               positivism               and               way               from               Christianity.

He               would               have               no               doubt               have               been               horrified               had               he               been               along               to               see               the               Socialist               Revolution               that               took               place               about               forty               years               after               his               death               in               1881.
               The               great               irony               in               Dostoevsky               is               that               his               work               would               come               to               influence               people               whose               worldviews               he               would               have               almost               certainly               have               been               against.

Friedrich               Nietzsche               was,               for               instance,               a               radical               atheist               and               rejected               Christian               values,               yet               in               the               character               of               Raskolnikov               he               found               the               prototype               for               his               ubermensch.

Nietzsche               in               seeking               to               create               an               archetype               that               was               above               morality               effectively               copied               Dostoevsky's               Raskolnikov               and               it               is               quite               clear               that               Nietzsche               was               quite               familiar               with               Dostoevsky               and               held               him               in               high               regard,               writing               that,               "Dostoevsky               is               the               only               psychologist               from               whom               I               was               able               to               learn               anything.

I               rank               my               acquaintance               with               him               among               the               most               splendid               achievements               of               my               life."               (Shestov)
               Dostoevsky               himself               would               enter               into               the               pantheon               of               such               few               names               as               Tolstoy               in               being               a               Russian               novelist               who               successfully               crossed               over               into               the               West.

It               is               another               great               irony               in               Dostoevsky               that               he               wrote               so               clearly               in               rejection               of               the               West               and               in               favor               of               Russian               values               and               yet               it               was               he               who               would               become               part               of               the               few               Russian               novelists               who               actually               was               embraced               by               the               West.
               All               in               all,               Dostoevsky               did               not               write               mainly               for               popularity               or               money,               but               for               his               values.

He               was,               as               I               have               said,               more               of               a               philosopher               than               a               novelist               and               simply               conveyed               philosophic               ideas               in               his               own               way.

The               uniqueness               of               his               work               is               so               fitting               in               that               Dostoevsky               was               a               truly               complex               man               who               had               many               different               philosophical               struggles               throughout               his               life.

His               ultimate               return               to               Christianity               is               his               most               profound               moment,               if               there               is               but               one               thing               Dostoevsky               stands               for               it               is               the               triumph               of               Christianity               over               all               else.

Though               his               views               may               be               considered               reactionary               and               controversial               in               our               day               and               age,               they               are               certainly               worth               our               civilization               taking               a               second               look               at.
