"The Possessed" is a novel written by the Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky. This 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 Union" 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.
Reader comments
The characters in the book behave in a variety of ways, some are hateful and some are sympathetic. Just like a person I know, he will do whatever it takes to pursue power, and ultimately harms others and himself. This book is not only a mirror about society, but also made me think more deeply about human nature. Have you read this book? I think it's worth reading.
