АНТИУТОПИИ ФЕДОРА ДОСТОЕВСКОГО КАК ПРЕДИЛЛЮСТРАЦИЯ К ТОТАЛИТАРИЗМУ
FIODOR DOSTOEVSKY`S DYSTOPIAS AS A PRE-ILLUSTRATION OF TOTALITARIANISM

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the appearance of dystopias in the literary legacy of Fyodor Dostoevsky as a literary metagenre. The author examines a number of texts in relation to the history of the totalitarianism in the 20th century, which manifests itself in the writer’s works through his creative intuition about the universal features of the human ontology. The mechanisms of evil are timeless phenomena and are not linked to a specific space. In the context of the European culture, the writer’s allusions to dystopia are read primarily in the greatest tragedies in the history of modern humanity: the Holocaust and the Great Terror. In addition, the author presents the prospects of the realisation of evil in a broader perspective.
