From the nationalist arguments of his late journalism, where he championed Russian Orthodoxy and 鈥楪od-bearing鈥 peasantry, to his explorations of the possibility and dangers of radical social transformation, as well as insights into populist tactics in听his fictional depictions of revolutionaries, Dostoevsky鈥檚 profound concern with the state of contemporary Russia and what it could give to the wider world continues to resonate today. As part of a series of events to mark , this roundtable brings together a panel of experts to discuss literature鈥檚 contribution to nationalist and populist trends, Russia鈥檚 relationship to its cultural heritage, and the relevance for global audiences of Dostoevsky's vision of Russia.
