\n\"Dostoevsky\"
\n Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky <\/strong><\/big>
\nb. 1821- d. 1881<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dostoevsky\" Fyodor Dostoevsky was born on October 30, 1821<\/strong> in Moscow.<\/p>\n

In 1837<\/strong>, at the age of 16, he moved to Saint Petersburg to attend Military Engineering School and graduated in 1843.<\/p>\n

In 1844<\/strong> he resigned his engineering position to devote himself to writing.<\/p>\n

He published his first novel in 1846<\/strong>, “Poor Folk”<\/em> and he got encouragement from some critics.<\/p>\n

In 1849<\/strong>, Dostoevsky was arrested for work with French Utopian Socialists and he received 4 years in prison in Omsk. After this difficult time he lost his utopian dreams and began his exploration of the irrational in life.<\/p>\n

In 1866<\/strong>, he wrote “Crime and Punishment”<\/em> while living near Sennaya Ploschad on Kaznachieskaja Street.<\/p>\n

His greatest novel “The Brothers Karamazov”<\/em> was released in 1880<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dostoevsky died February 9 in 1881<\/strong>. He is buried in the Tikhvin Cemetary at Aleksander Nevsky Monastery<\/strong><\/a> in St. Petersburg. Both his birth and death are marked in modern ceremonies. The Literary Memorial Museum of Dostoevsky has a memorial service on Feb. 9 to mark his passing. And nearby, at the Vladmir Cathedral where Dostoevsky attended, the choir will perform in his memory. He could see the cathedral spire from his last apartment and it is where he wrote “The Brothers Karamozov.” It is by Metro Dostoevsky, of course.<\/p>\n

To visit Dostoevsky’s gravesite at the Aleksander Nevsky Lavra from Sennaya Ploschad Sadovaya \/ Spassky Metro station, take the Metro three stops to Aleksander Nevskovo Ploschad Metro station. Cross the square and the cemetary is in front of the monastery. There is a small charge to the cemetary park. Many famous writers, musicians and other notable figures are buried there. The monuments are works of art and it is fascinating to wander the grounds and discover many famous names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Excerpt from Crime and Punishment,” 1866<\/strong>
\nChapter 5 — Raskolnikov\"Dostoevsky\" “It was about nine o’clock when he crossed the Hay Market<\/strong><\/a>. At the tables and the barrows, at the booths and the shops, all the market people were closing their establishments or clearing away and packing up their wares and, like their customers, were going home. Ragpickers and costermongers of all kinds were crowding round the taverns in the dirty and stinking courtyards of the Hay Market<\/strong><\/a>.
\nRaskolnikov particularly liked this place and the neighbouring alleys, when he wandered aimlessly in the streets. Here his rags did not attract contemptuous attention, and one could walk about in any attire without scandalising people.”<\/em>
