Which country is Fyodor Dostoevsky associated with?

Russia. Fyodor Dostoevsky was a towering Russian novelist whose works—like Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and Notes from Underground—probe guilt, faith, and free will against the backdrop of Russian society, especially St. Petersburg. Born in Moscow (1821) and writing in the 19th century’s “Golden Age” of Russian literature, he stands alongside Tolstoy, Turgenev, and Chekhov. A vivid piece of context: Dostoevsky endured a mock execution and years in Siberian exile for involvement in a reformist circle. That ordeal transformed his worldview and infused his fiction with intense psychological and spiritual depth, influencing existentialist thinkers. Memory tip: think “R for Russia and Raskolnikov,” the tormented hero of Crime and Punishment—both lead you straight to Dostoevsky’s homeland
