Riivaajat 2/3 by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

"Riivaajat 2/3" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a novel first published in 1871–72. A fictional Russian town descends into chaos as political conspirator Pyotr Verkhovensky orchestrates an attempted revolution. The enigmatic aristocrat Nikolai Stavrogin dominates the story, wielding mysterious influence over nearly everyone around him. This social and political satire explores the catastrophic consequences of nihilism spreading through 1860s Russia, as destructive ideas possess individuals and communities, threatening to tear apart the social fabric.
