Dolgoe vremi͡a posle napisanii͡a "Besy" ostavalisʹ romanom, prochtenie kotorogo zaviselo ot politicheskikh vzgli͡adov chitateli͡a i neredko ot togo, po kakui͡u storonu sovetskoĭ granit͡sy chitatelʹ nakhodilsi͡a. Zadumav proizvedenie na zlobu dni͡a, klassik sozdal ego "na zlobu vekov". Vse nachalosʹ s ubiĭstva studenta Ivana Ivanova, chlena revoli͡ut͡sionnogo obshchestva "Narodnai͡a rasprava", svoimi zhe kruzhkovt͡sami za ego nezhelanie uchastvovatʹ v ocherednoĭ akt͡sii. Sobytie vyzvalo bolʹshoĭ rezonans v obshchestve, i Dostoevskiĭ vzi͡alsi͡a za roman kak za zloĭ antinigilisticheskiĭ pamflet. No pod perom mastera proizvedenie prevratilosʹ v psikhologicheskiĭ triller i sot͡sialʹnui͡u dramu mira. Mira, v kotorom li͡udi poteri͡ali garmonii͡u i smysl, oshchutiv na sebe rokovoe vlii͡anie novykh ideĭ i buduchi, po slovam pisateli͡a Vasilii͡a Avseenko, "vnutrenne nesostoi͡atelʹnymi naturami, porazhennymi bessiliem i besplodiem poluobrazovannosti". Istorii͡a na vse vremena.

For a long time after writing, "Demons" remained a novel, the reading of which depended on the political views of the reader and often on which side of the Soviet border the reader was on. Having conceived a work for the malice of the day, the classic created it "for the malice of the ages." It all started with the murder of student Ivan Ivanov, a member of the revolutionary society "People's Massacre", by his own circle members for his unwillingness to participate in another action. The event caused a great resonance in society, and Dostoevsky took up the novel as an evil anti-nihilistic pamphlet. But under the pen of the master, the work turned into a psychological thriller and a social drama of the world. A world in which people have lost harmony and meaning, feeling the fatal influence of new ideas and being, in the words of writer Vasily Avseenko, "internally unsound natures, struck by the impotence and infertility of semi-education." A story for all time.
