Dostoevsky: Death sentence, hard work, roulette and the love that saved him | (Let's get to know you).
He was sentenced to death, sent to hard labor, and years later found himself in huge debt and almost lost the rights to his own works. How did Fyodor Dostoevsky survive all this?
In the new episode of the podcast (let's get to know each other), Doctor of Philology, Professor Valentina Borisova talks about Dostoevsky, whom we barely know.
What was he like as a child? Why did you fight with Turgenev and Belinsky? What did you experience while you were awaiting the death penalty? How did you write the novel "The Gambler" in only 26 days? And what role did Anna Snitkina play in his fate?
