"Dostoevsky is usually admired most for his contributions to world literature and his treatment of universal themes. Geoffery C. Kabat argues that what matters more in Dostoevsky's work is not the universal, but the national - specifically, Dostoevsky's views on Russian history and society. Drawing on the full range of Dostoevsky's later writings - his journalism, letters, notebooks, and fiction from 1861 to 1881 - Kabat distinguishes two radically different styles of thought to which Dostoevsky resorted in order to resolve the contradictions he perceived in Russian history."
