“One denial, without any generosity and without any power,” says the main character of the novel Nikolai Stavrogin and, in fact, describes the political fermentation in Russia of the 1870s. Dostoevsky had already written “The Idiot”, “Crime and Punishment” and “The Gambler”, he was preparing to take up the main book of his life. But at this time, a revolutionary terrorist movement is rapidly developing in St. Petersburg, resulting in the murder of a student, organized by the leader of the People’s Massacre party Sergey Nechaev. The comprehension of the absurdity and cruelty of such forms of struggle forced Dostoevsky to postpone what he had started and take up the “Demons”. Today, when the novel is relevant no less than 150 years ago, there is no doubt that Dostoevsky wrote a great book.

Artist Yuri Hershkovich to become Dostoevsky. In his illustrations, the darkness, abomination and anguish of human existence are refracted into evil caricature types juggling meaning, truth and other people’s lives.
