On December 23, 1849, in Saint Petersburg, the young man Dostoevsky and a group of thinkers were sentenced to death by shooting. Before the execution could be carried out, Dostoevsky had waited for four months. On the execution platform, an imperial decree was issued granting amnesty to the group, and the death penalty was replaced by hard labor in Siberia’s frozen tundra. You can imagine a writer of Dostoevsky’s talent standing on that execution platform, waiting for the bullet that would end his life. He faced death directly, with his eyes fixed on it. He waited for four months, followed by four years of hard labor in Siberia’s frozen tundra. It was through suffering, despair, and the loss of hope that an extraordinary genius was born—a genius that history has never seen before.In this fascinating narrative, the author delves into the psychology of a worker from the lowest rung of society. We encounter such a person at least once a day, and they are constantly faced with conflicts with their own principles and philosophies. These principles are based on treating those who belong to a lower social status with less kindness and generosity. But soon, they encounter numerous embarrassing situations, where they are forced to face their true nature without any false pretenses. In the end, they are drawn into their own psychological tendencies.
