Fjodor Mihajlovič Dostojevski
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821–1881) was one of the most important Russian writers and thinkers of the 19th century, known for the deep psychological analysis of characters and the philosophical themes in his works. He was born in Moscow and educated at the Military Engineering Academy in Saint Petersburg. He gained recognition with his first novel, Poor Folk (1846), but was soon arrested for his participation in the Petrashevsky Circle, a group of intellectuals who criticized the tsarist regime.
After being pardoned at the last moment from death row, he spent four years in a Siberian prison, which had a profound influence on his later writing. His best-known works include Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Evil Souls, and The Brothers Karamazov. In these novels, he explores morality, faith, free will, sin, and redemption through strong and complex characters.
Dostoevsky was also active as a journalist and essayist, and struggled with personal problems such as epilepsy, gambling addiction, and financial difficulties. His contribution to world literature is reflected in his strong influence on existentialist philosophy and modern psychology.
He died in 1881 in Saint Petersburg, and his works remain indispensable in the world's literary heritage today.
