Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky is a great Russian classicist and psychologist. In his works, the key stereotypical characters of society are revealed in an inimitable realistic way. Apparently, this society is not only Russian, for the genius of Dostoevsky would not have had worldwide recognition.In the novel, the fifth in a row, Fyodor Mikhailovich presents the reader with a peculiar vision of the appearance of Christ in our society. It is no coincidence that Prince Myshkin, arriving after treatment for epilepsy from the mountains of Switzerland in Russia, like Jesus, looks with sadness, longing and forgiveness at the vanity of the greedy, stupid and insatiable to all sorts of vices of the bourgeoisie. The book, however, does not look like a prophetic gospel at all, but offers an analysis and vision of a distorted world through the prism of forgiveness. This world does not lend itself to common understanding by Myshkin, whose status as Prince is, as it were, not appropriate during the course of the novel. Myshkin understands that he is not able to influence all the tragedy and hopelessness of the 'new' society around him, decides to return to a mental hospital far in the Alps.The enduring thousand-year struggle of spiritual and material values is reflected in the spirit and writing of this great labor, and by right, the work of Dostoevsky is eternal.
