The article is an attempt to read the novel The Adolescent in the light of the spiritual and creative dialogue between the philosopher of the common task Nikolay Fedorov and Fyodor Dostoevsky. Although The Adolescent was written and published three years before Fedorov’s student N. Peterson presented his teacher’s ideas to the writer in the article “What should a people’s school be?”, the novel can be considered as a prologue to the topic that eventually became the subject of Fedorov’s main work The question of brotherhood or kinship, about the causes of the non-fraternal, unrelated, i.e. non-peaceful, state of the world, and about the means to restore kinship. The plot of the novel is interpreted in the article through the prism of Fedorov’s themes of non-kinship and the restoration of universal kinship, the idea of returning the hearts of sons to their fathers and the fathers’ ones to their children. It is shown how the theme of “family as the practical beginning of love” is expressed in the novel.

The fourth of a series of articles dedicated to the restoration and museification of the memorial space of Darovoe — Monogarovo — Cheremoshnya. Dostoevsky’s Darovoe Museum-Estate opened anew on November 20th, 2021, while the restoration of the Church of the Descent of the Holy Spirit is still running. The authors of the article concentrate on the pressing issues of the ongoing processes and suggest reflecting on the basic principles ruling contemporary Russian restorers. The directives of the “Venice Charter” (1964), when absolutized, lead as in this case to the destruction of authenticity. Instead of Dostoevsky’s estate, we end up with Ivanov’s, and instead of the Church Dostoevsky looked at, we canonize the architectural preferences of the archpriest of the Church at the beginning of the 20th century. Of particular concern is the fate of the Linden Grove, now on the edge of disappearance. The causes of the losses we are witnessing are academic as well as social and moral.

Third paper on the topic. The formation of the restoration project of the Darovoe Museum is reaching a turning point. Bringing the creative laboratory of the museum construction into public space allows the scientific community to influence the process of establishing a new museum of the writer and sets a precedent for transparency in the restoration process. The combination of museum design, natural landscape, and architectural research with the achievements of philologists and historians are forming a new kind of interdisciplinary cooperation between scientists and practitioners. In fact, the process is now facing a conflict, ultimately of axiological nature. The article includes proposals of famous scholars to the General Directorate of the Cultural Heritage for the Moscow Region and the Protocol of the meeting of the section of the Council for the Cultural Heritage of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation; it presents the contradictions causing conflict. The concept of a natural museum of Dostoevsky’s childhood, defended by the academic community, is winning the right to implement with great effort.

The review analyses the current state of research of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel The Adolescent. The starting point is the tradition of academic commentaries to the text, which allowed achievements in textual criticism during the 1960-1970s. Today we are obviously facing a new turn in both textual studies and commentaries to the novel. The main trends indicate that researchers aim at discovering the spiritual meaning of The Adolescent, its poetics, and sources. Nevertheless, contemporary surveys are characterized by a diversity of academic discourses, originated from psychology, history, cultural studies, linguistics, etc. In the field of literary studies, both Russian and foreign works show a rising interest in the poetics and the analysis of the role of the Christian tradition in the novel. Traditionally, the novel is studied within the prospective Dostoevsky’s Five great works. Monographs reveal the artistic success and unique character of The Adolescent and integrate it into the meta-text of Dostoevsky’s life and oeuvre, giving a variety of typological reasons. Academic research maintains a typological and comparative-historical approach to this novel, though its literary context has not significantly expanded. A substantial aspect of Dostoevsky’s studies is dedicated to the narratology of The Adolescent and its genre features; the traditional definition of the book as a Bildungsroman has now gained a new modified formula. The article pays close attention to the few existing monographs that concentrate on The Adolescent. The article not only provides a review that helps understand how the novel is studied today but outlines prospects of research. Dostoevsky’s novel is organized as a multilayer reality. Therefore, it requires a complex approach - biographical, historical, literary, and mythopoetic (broadly speaking) – in order to allow a full reception of the novel The Adolescent, especially in the mass culture.

Friedrich Schiller was one of the most important Western authors for Dostoevsky. The importance lay both in being inspired by Schiller’s ideas and their creative development, and in direct controversy to the point of ironic criticism. In the novel Crime and Punishment frequent appeals to Schiller are not followed by precise quotations or recognizable allusions, and as a result they require decoding and commenting. This article attempts to do this. The influence of Schiller’s heritage in the novel can be traced on different levels: common ideological motives (the polemic with the concept of schöne Seele; a theodicy based on the philosophical concepts of love and beauty); aesthetic positions (an aestheticization of suffering and crime as “sublime”); anthropology (the creation of an ideological hero; the judgment about the deep disharmony in the nature of the contemporary man, which leads to an unlimited “largeness of the soul” to the point of a terrible moral ambivalence), and innovative methods of psychologism (a depiction of a criminal’s psychology from the inside, with an effect of empathy). Of particular importance for the ideological content of the novel Crime and Punishment was Schiller’s drama The Robbers; in terms of psychological analysis, the dramatic passages of The Misanthrope and the story The Criminal of Lost Honour also played a significant role. The latter are first introduced in academic commentary on Dostoevsky’s novel.

The article considers the reflections of scholastic theology in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s works; their range spans Dostoevsky’s works from Notes from Underground where the Underground man alludes to the second proof of the existence of God to The Devils where Stepan Verkhovensky transforms Thomas Aquinas’s concept of creation in his view of the relationship between man and God. Similar verbal and structural references are also present in The Brothers Karamazov where Book Five is titled “Pro and contra.” The links with Summa Theologiae also paradoxically connect the Underground man’s ideology with that of these alleged opponents, the rationalists, by drawing parallels between St. Thomas’s arguments and Auguste Comte’s The Catechism of the Positive Religion. References to Thomas Aquinas’s theology were picked up by Dostoevsky’s contemporaries and they are intended to guide the readers in the philosophical and religious world of the writer and his characters

In Dostoevsky’s novel “The Eternal Husband”, the theme of spiritual elevation is conveyed by two implicit narrative processes developing in parallel with the explicit plot, based on the theme of revenge. Each of the two implicit narrative trajectories reveals the complex vertical spiritual growth of the victimized lover and the victim husband, respectively, which becomes a strategy for expressing the author’s intent. The three parallel narrative trajectories together reveal the multilayered themes of the story and the multilayered connotations of the text. Many vague places and “superfluous” details become clear and necessary with the introduction of hidden narrative passages that reveal the themes of fall and salvation.

The article contains new facts that clarify or complete some particulars in the biographies of 13 persons from Dostoevsky’s milieu. Some facts derive from documentary sources discovered through archival research: Aleksandr Isaev’s metric records, the birth and death in Darovoe of the infant Simeon, the illegitimate son of Mikhail Dostoevsky, the first marriage and divorce of Dostoevsky’s son Fyodor Fedorovich, the death of the writer’s sister-in-law Sof’ia Constant, and an excerpt from the memoirs of Ekaterina Alexandrovna, wife of Konstantin Pobedonostsev, about her acquaintance with Dostoevsky. The combination of archival research and textual analysis of the writer’s manuscripts and correspondence allowed us to suppose his possible acquaintance with Fyodor Bychkov, the founder of the grammar school for boys in St. Petersburg where the writer’s son was later enrolled, and with the aspiring writer Lydia Lamovskaya. Finally, the article investigates the name “Lizaveta Kuzminichna” recurring three times in different Dostoevsky’s autographs. The name works as a code for the writer’s unidentified personal associations going back to his childhood in Moscow, and is linked to his parents’ friends, the Shchirovsky family. These examples show that even today, archival work, search for new factual sources, and “small observations” over the texts remain fruitful and promising methods for research of both biographical and interpretative nature.
