In Simferopol opened an exhibition for the 205th anniversary of Dostoevsky

In the Simferopol library-branch No. 4 named after M. M. Kotsyubinsky, the book exhibition “Conscience became a prophet and a poet” began, dedicated to the 205th anniversary of the birth of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. The exposition introduces the biography of the classic and his works, some of which celebrate the anniversary in 2026.

November 11 marks the 205th anniversary of the birth of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky - writer, thinker, philosopher and publicist. By this date, a book exhibition was opened in the library-branch No. 4 named after M. M. Kotsyubinsky. Innocent Annensky wrote: “Read Dostoevsky, love Dostoevsky, if you can, and can not, rebuke Dostoevsky, but read... if possible only him.”.

Sections of the exhibition “The Great Artist of Life” and “Man is a Secret” tell about the creative path of the classic and his immortal works. The publications “The World of Dostoevsky” by V. Y. Kirpotin, “Dostoevsky” by Y. I. Seleznev, “The Last Year of Dostoevsky” by I. L. Volgin and “Ideas and Images of F. M. Dostoevsky” by M. S. Hus tell about the childhood and youth of the future writer, his literary debut in St. Petersburg, years of hard labor and soldiers in Siberia, as well as about his return to great literature. In the 1860s-1880s, Dostoevsky created five novels - Crime and Punishment, Idiot, Demons, Teenager and The Brothers Karamazov.

Some of the books presented at the exhibition are the anniversary of 2026: “The Humiliated and Humiliated” (165 years since the publication), “Crime and Punishment” (160 years) and “The Brothers Karamazov” (145 years since the release of a separate book). The exhibition is addressed to both long-time admirers of Dostoevsky’s work and those who are just discovering his works.
