Russia To Release Movie About Writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky

In a recent interview with media outlets, Tashkov explained that his new film is all about love – something that will shed more light on the great writer’s relations with his two wives and a beloved one. The scenario was created back in 1993 and features Dostoyevsky’s correspondence with his brother Mikhail as well as the memoirs by one of the writer’s wives.

All the documents reflect the grandeur of Dostoyevsky’s image, which is once again shown in my new film, Tashkov concluded.

Dostoyevsky's literary output explores human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century Russian society. Considered by many as a founder or precursor of 20th-century existentialism, his Notes from Underground (1864), written in the embittered voice of the anonymous "underground man", was called by Walter Kaufmann the "best overture for existentialism ever written."
