Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to discover the parallel lines between the Dostoevsky’s philosophic conception of the Russian world and its future predictions in his political articles of “A Writer’s Diary” and Russia’s current role in politics regarding Slavic countries and the third parties. With great reference to Dostoevsky’s philosophical prose “A Writer’s Diary” as to a “prophetic revelation”, this has been done by analyzing the history of some relations underpinning the current situation. Through showing what Russia’s role is now to what Dostoevsky called “The Russian world”, this research reveals the most prominent discrepancies in between his predictions and the current state of affairs.
