Demons (complete Works)
About This Novel
"The Possessed" is a novel written by the Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky. The work was first serialized in "Russian Bulletin" from 1871 to 1872. The story of "Demons" is based on the Nechaev case that occurred in Moscow in 1869. Nechaev (1847-1882) was an auditor at Petersburg University and actively participated in the student movement in Petersburg in the spring of 1869. After running abroad, he got close to Bakunin in Geneva and learned the conspiracy tactics of anarchism. In September 1869, Nechayev arrived in Moscow with a plan to establish a secret organization against the government, and also brought with him a letter of authorization from the "Russian Branch of the World Revolutionary Alliance" signed by Bakunin. He established a secret group and conspired to establish the "People's Punishment Association." On November 21, 1869, Nechayev used malicious incitement, deception and intimidation to force a group of members of the "People's Punishment Association" to assassinate Ivanov near Moscow on the pretext that Ivanov might inform the authorities.

Gula is an absolutely divided and contradictory individual. His view of good and evil is chaotic. Maybe the righteous deeds temporarily prevailed, or the evil spirits won the battle, but a person cannot live like this forever.
Gula is cowardly, escaping from the consequences of his mistakes all his life, and never outspoken about his hatred of villains; he is also fanatical - his love for Liz, and his morbid sense of provoking inherent principles with despicable actions.
