Три речи в память Достоевского
Vladimir Solovyov
Three lectures given in 1881, 1882 and 1883 on the anniversaries of the novelist's death and published together in 1884. Solovyov presents Dostoevsky not as a psychologist or social novelist but as a religious prophet of the universal Church and of Godmanhood; a decisive reading that shaped all later Russian reception of the writer.
