"Besy" (1871-1872) - probably the most prophetic novel of Dostoevsky. Initially conceived as a sharp political thing based on the writer's impressions of the "Nechaev trial": a group of revolutionaries tried for the murder of a student who decided to leave their circle - the novel has far outgrown just a work on the "evil of the day". Before the eyes of readers unfolds a real drama: in the center of the narrative - a group of nihilists led by Peter Verkhovensky, planning to raise turmoil throughout Russia. The protagonist of the novel, Nikolai Stavrogin, has his own secret, his own terrible sin and his own great misfortune - he is completely devastated, and life is no longer of any interest to him. The events in the novel whirl before the reader, become entangled in some monstrous tangle and as a result are resolved by tragedy. The present in Dostoevsky's novel is closely connected with the past: he sees the origins of nihilistic sentiments in children in their idealistic fathers, completely ignorant of Russia. But the uniqueness of "The Devils" is also in the fact that by the example of these characters Dostoevsky depicts the whole of Russia possessed by demons - yesterday, today, tomorrow madness haunts us.
