Biography
Russian writer, one of Russia's greatest novelists. His works include "Crime and Punishment," 1866 and "The Brothers Karamazov," 1880. Born to a physician in Moscow, he went to army engineering college for three years in St. Petersburg. He was a political activist in youth and spent four years in a Siberia labor camp. Epilepsy and emphysema took their toll and he suffered from terrible bouts of nervous prostration. At 59, he looked older, pale and gaunt with dark circles under his eyes. He worried that he might not be able to care for his "three golden heads," his wife Anna, 24 years younger, and 11-year-old Lyobov and 9-year-old Fyodor.
On 1/26/1881 (OS) he moved a heavy bookcase to retrieve a pen. An artery in his lung burst and he hemorrhaged. Two days later he told his Anna that it was time to die, and consoled her. In their small apartment in St. Petersburg, Dostoevsky died at 8:38 PM.
