Authority and Crime in Dostoyevsky’s Political Criminology

The article treats, sociologically and philosophically, a wide range of issues within the subject of the study claimed, e.g.: genesis of the ideology of machine rationality; normative dimensions of a criminal-political association, the immoral rationality of its political program; the Machiavellism “Russian pattern”: the way from social chaos to totalitarian disnomy, “super-order”, etc. Special consideration is given to the analysis of the political-philosophical purport of the “Great Inquisitor” poem incorporated in the “Karamazov Brothers” novel.
