Two Motherlands of Dostoevsky: an attempt to comprehend. Kantor V.

Vladimir Kantor, Doctor of Philosophical Sciences, Ordinary Professor NIU-STSE, Head of the International Research of the Russian-European Intellectual Dialogue of the National Research University "Higher School of Economics" (NIU-VSHE), chief editor of philosophical letters magazine, in his book He is trying to get away from the nationalist pathos in the analysis of the work of the great writer, showing the complexity of his being in the world, that complexity that made him a great writer. Dostoevsky’s perversion dislike hid the passion and adoration of the Western European geniuses - Shakespeare, Schiller, Balzac, and under a copy of the “Sistine Madonna” Raphael, he worked under it and died. These geniuses were his spiritual leaders, not to mention the book constantly read by him - the Gospel that came to Russia from Europe. Such a double composition of his inner world requires distinct articulation. What the author tried to do.
