It was first published in the literary journal The Russian Messenger in twelve monthly installments during 1866.[1] It was later published in a single volume. It is the second of Dostoyevsky's full-length novels following his return from ten years of exile in Siberia. Crime and Punishment is considered the first great novel of his \"mature\" period of writing.[2]\r\n\r\nCrime and Punishment focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her cash. Raskolnikov argues that with the pawnbroker's money he can perform good deeds to counterbalance the crime, while ridding the world of a worthless vermin. He also commits this murder to test his own hypothesis that some people are naturally capable of such things, and even have the right to do them. Several times throughout the novel, Raskolnikov justifies his actions by comparing himself with Napoleon Bonaparte, believing that murder is permissible in pursuit of a higher purpose.\r\n\r\n\r\n----------\r\nSee also: \r\n\r\n - [\u041f\u0440\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0443\u043f\u043b\u00e9\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u0438 \u043d\u0430\u043a\u0430\u0437\u00e1\u043d\u0438\u0435: 1/2](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL7998899W/Prestuplenie_i_nakazanie._1_2)\r\n\r\n  [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_and_Punishment", "title": "\u041f\u0440\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0443\u043f\u043b\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u0438 \u043d\u0430\u043a\u0430\u0437\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0435", "covers": [9411873, 12370975, -1, 10719925, 13469780, 9470851, 10744834, 11227994, 12092472, 14455063, 7909464, 10122122, 10870498, 12082225, 13115801, 14455065, 11516874, 12504643, 12768330, 14263990, 12246767, 12775580, 10828788, 10853051, 12527267, 12672957, 14938777, 13499455, 14455062, 14898568, 14938778], "subject_places": ["Russia", "Russia (Federation)", "Saint Petersburg", "Saint Petersburg (Russia)", "San Petersburgo (Rusia)", "St. Petersburg Russia", "Russian Empire", "Siberia (Russian Federation)", "St. Petersburg (Russian Federation)", "Israel"], "first_publish_date": "1884", "subject_people": ["Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881)", "Rodion Raskolnikov", "Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov", "Porfiry Petrovich", "Sofia Semyonovna Marmeladova", "Avdotya Romanovna Raskolnikova", "Arkady Ivanovich Svidrigailov", "Dmitri Prokofich Razumikhin", "Katerina Ivanovna Marmeladova", "Pyotr Petrovich Luzhin", "Pulcheria Alexandrovna Raskolnikov", "Semyon Zakharovich Marmeladov", "Andrei Semyonovich Lebezyatnikov", "Alyona Ivanovna", "Lizaveta Ivanovna", "Zossimov", "Nastasya Petrovna (\u201cNastenka", "\u201d \u201cNastasyushka\u201d)", "Ilya Petrovich (\u201cGunpowder\u201d)", "Alexander Grigorievich Zamyotov", "Nikolai Dementiev (\u201cMikolka\u201d)", "Polina Mikhailovna Marmeladov (\u201cPolya", "\u201d \u201cPolenka", "\u201d \u201cPolechka\u201d)"], "key": "/works/OL166894W", "authors": [{"author": {"key": "/authors/OL22242A"}, "type": {"key": "/type/author_role"}}], "subject_times": ["1533-1917", "19th century"], "type": {"key": "/type/work"}, "subjects": ["English Translations", "Russian literature", "Novela psicol\u00f3gica", "Fiction", "Translations into Yiddish", "Psychological fiction", "German language", "Murder", "Fiction in Spanish", "Mystery fiction", "Classic Literature", "Detective and mystery stories", "Open Library Staff Picks", "Guilt", "open_syllabus_project", "Novela polic\u00edaca", "Crime", "Social life and customs", "Ficci\u00f3n", "Murderers", "Saint Petersburg (Russia) -- Fiction", "Remorse", "Mystery", "Continental european fiction (fictional works by one author)", "Saint petersburg (russia), fiction", "Soviet union, fiction", "Fiction, psychological", "Slavic philology", "Crime, fiction", "Russia (federation), fiction", "Literary", "Psychological aspects", "Russian language", "Raskolnikov (Fictitious character)", "Psychological", "Russian fiction", "Translations into English", "Russian Psychological fiction", "Crime in literature", "Punishment in literature", "Conscience in literature", "History", "Long Now Manual for Civilization", "Translations into German", "Fiction, historical, general", "Criticism and interpretation", "Prestuplenie i nakazanie (Dostoyevsky, Fyodor)", "Readers for new literates", "Adaptations", "Drama", "Fiction, mystery & detective, general", "Theater programs", "Specimens", "Te\u02bca\u1e6dron ha-\u02bbironi \u1e24efah", "Te\u02bca\u1e6dron ha-\u1e32ameri shel Tel-Aviv", "Fiction, general", "Translations into Japanese", "Japanese literature", "Translations from Russian", "Meurtre", "Romans, nouvelles", "Myst\u00e8re", "Habimah"], "links": [{"title": "Crime e Castigo, de Fi\u00f3dor Dostoi\u00e9vski", "url": "https://love-books-review.com/pt-br/crime-e-castigo-de-fiodor-dostoievski/", "type": {"key": "/type/link"}}, {"title": "Crime and Punishment-Ebookzy", "url": "https://ebookzy.com/crime-and-punishment/", "type": {"key": "/type/link"}}], "identifiers": {"librarything": ["10072"], "wikidata": ["Q165318"]}, "latest_revision": 70, "revision": 70, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-10-20T09:09:33.835074"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2026-03-27T16:57:24.507361"}}
