Dostoevsky and his creative works in the royal and Soviet Russia, emphasizes that the main theme of his works - the problem of personal freedom vs. prison - was poorly considered that the censorship of the USSR for a few decades limited the publication and research of some of its texts. The deconstruction of the totalitarian ideological culture policy pursued by the state highlights the imprisonment of the time and the study of literature. The peculiarity of the Lithuanian book about Dostoevsky reveals in comparison with other historical texts of the Soviet period about him. The textual analysis reveals the importance of Siberian exile (katoros) - as a Russian writer and his research worker, a literary unifying columnist - for the study of the book's pathos and the interpretation of the writer's personality. The selection, composition and commentary of the material cited reveals in the book Dostoevsky, with the assertion of personal freedom and the level of delegation of the current system. It is concluded that this peculiarity of the Lithuanian literary historical text about Dostoevsky is essential in solving the problem of the genre of E. Červinskienė's own studies and allows it to be included in the literature on literary texts.
