In it it regularly printed ' the Diary of the writer ' to which has directed last years many efforts, having transformed it into the report on impressions of the major phenomena of a public and political life and having stated the civil, religious and aesthetic belief on its pages.
In 1874 he has refused editing of magazine because of the next collisions with the publisher and health deterioration (three years on end it went to be treated to Ems), but in the end of 1875 has renewed work over ' the Diary ', induced many people to enter into a correspondence to its author. In a society Dostoevsky has got high moral authority, was perceived as the preacher and the teacher, and it ' the Diary ' used tremendous success at reading public. With delight its last novel ' Brothers of Karamazovy ' has been accepted also.
