The author’s refl ections on reading The Idiot encompass both his own perception of the characters in the novel, experienced in his adolescence, and the search for the metaphysical foundations that would consolidate the reader’s ideas about Russia and the Russians of the 19th century and the present, as formed by the novel. According to Stasiuk, Rogozhin is the only truly alive character, who stands out against the ghostly environment.
