Abstract

The works of F. M. Dostoevsky, representing one of the peaks of Russian and world literature, consistently attracts attention not only of literary critics, but also a range of specialists from other subjects in humanities. It appears that it may in no small way be explained by the fact that Dostoevsky was not only a writer, but also a thinker. Moreover, it is possible that as a thinker Dostoevsky exerted and continues to exert even more influence than as a writer, despite the conventions of such division. Dostoevsky's artistic and ideological synthesis and evolution reflected an epoch characterized by a combination of traditional and modernized principles. It is important to reconstruct the logic of Dostoevsky's ideological and worldview evolution, and to consider this issue in terms of the philosophical and worldview reference frame. A crucial link in the worldview`s evolution of Dostoevsky came to be a transition from early to mature writings, developed during Siberian period, i.e. serving his sentence in prison, in exile, and military service under the verdict of the court in the case of Mikhail Butashevich-Petrashevsky. This very period is chosen by the author as a subject of the paper`s research.
