The Dostoevskys from Dostoevo: "Belarus and F. M. Dostoevsky" as the object of research

The article examines the question of significance of the history of the Dostoevsky dynasty on the lands of Grand Duchy of Lithuania while studying F. M. Dostoevsky’s literary heritage. It can be considered as a real source of the religious and philosophical problems exposed in the writer’s creative works. The structure of historical destinies of three East Slavic peoples formed by world view extremes created a polemic scope with centuries-old background which potentially seems to follow a catastrophic scenario. In this aspect the imaginative polysemy of the “polyphonic” picture of the world in the writings of F. M. Dostoevsky, where belief and mind aren’t separated by an ideological and political axis of the evil, but located in a stream of direct human experience and states, can become a necessary condition to avoid unilaterality and tendentiousness while judging the problem of the existence of Southwest Rus’ as a part of Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
