Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky (1821-1881): His first novel, The Humanlets, was published in 1846. The famous critic V. Belinsky spoke of Dostoevsky as the great writer of the future on this work. However, his later published works did not attract much attention at that time. The writer was arrested in 1849 on the grounds that he was a member of the Petrashevsky group, which opposed the oppressive regime of Nicholas I. When he was about to be shot, his sentence was commuted to exile and compulsory military service. After completing his sentence and returning from Siberia, he started publishing the magazine Vremya in Petersburg. Dostoevsky, in his work titled The Other, published in 1846, dealt with the division of personality and the frightening and dangerous world created by the fragmented consciousness.
