Summary
Tamara Đermanović: Dostoevsky between East and West
Misunderstanding and mutual fascination accompany the relationship between Russia and the West throughout Russian history. It is the same in the arguments of F. M. Dostoevsky's novel. Notes from the Underworld (1864), Evil Souls (1872) and The Brothers Karamazov (1879) show what inspired the writer and what worried him in different existential and creative moments. The attitudes that Dostoevsky's characters have towards Russia or the West, which as a reflection of the writer himself often have the power of prophetic visions, can greatly help us to see and understand the causes and consequences of this complex relationship from the current perspective.
