Fyodor Dostoevsky was a Russian author who lived in the period 1821-1881. His literary legacy consists of many short stories, novels and essays. He used his works to depict the problems of his time. He discussed the human psychology and therefore he is considered to be the greatest psychologist in the history of literature. Dostoevsky criticized the society and the political situation of 19th-century Russia. He fearlessly wrote about Russia's revolutionaries. Through his works, he gave voice to many of his thoughts about domination and self-destruction. "Notes from the Underground", "Crime and Punishment" and "The Idiot" are but a small part of Dostoevsky's enormous literary legacy.
