Fyodor Dostoevsky
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (11 November, 1821 – 9 February, 1881) was born in Moscow. He is one of Russia’s most influential writers. The many hardships of his life found reflection in his work, helping him to create memorable characters that together form a detailed image of 19th-century Russia. Dostoyevsky brings forward ‘the little man’, a person you would pass on the street without giving a second thought, but in fact who represents the life of the majority of people.
