DOSTOEVSKY FEODOR MIHAJLOVICH. THE CHILDHOOD

Dostoevsky recollected the childhood seldom. According to S.D.Yanovsky, Feodor Mihajlovich told it ' much about heavy and sad conditions of its childhood though reverentially responded always about mother, about sisters and brother Michael Mihajloviche '. Dostoevsky's relation to the father, the person hypochondriac and painfully suspicious, was dual: ' He loved its special suffering love, but memory of it stored much and burdensome boyish impressions '.

Since 1832 brothers Dostoevskys were engaged with teachers coming on the house, and from next year were trained in N.I.Drashusova's board (Sushara), then in L.I.Chermaka's board. Oppressive atmosphere of these educational institutions and isolation from a family caused painful reaction though have cleared passion to reading in Feodor.

In 1837 the father has decided to send sons to Petersburg for formation continuation in the Main engineering school, one of the best educational institutions of that time. It was possible to arrive only to Feodor that has worked on it depressing: he should leave the favourite brother, the most person close to it. And on school Dostoevsky and has not approached with companions. One of its schoolmates recollected: ' In all school there was no pupil who so approached to a martial bearing a little. Its movements were any angular and at the same time gusty.

The Uniform sat awkwardly, and the satchel, a shako, a gun - all it on it seemed any verigami which it is temporary it has been obliged to carry and upon which it weighed. It is moral it also sharply differed from all the - more or less thoughtless - companions. Always concentrated in itself(himself), he constantly thoughtfully walked to and fro at leisure somewhere aside, without seeing and without hearing that occurred round it '.
