This thesis analyses Fyodor Dostoyevsky's discussion of individual radicalisation and terrorism in three of his major novels: Notes from Underground, Crime and Punishment and The Devils. Whilst the issues of radical ideology and terrorism have often been independently discussed by Dostoyevsky scholars, little attention has been devoted to the study of the process of radicalisation undergone by Dostoyevsky's protagonists, whereby the extreme fulfilment of radical ideals culminates in political violence. This investigation traces the evolution of Dostoyevsky's individual in the context of the radically changing socio-political environment of nineteenth-century Russia. The development of this individual will be examined throughout the novels as he initially questions, and is hostile to, radical ideology, gradually embraces its tenets and tests its validity through the use of violence and eventually engages in terrorist activity. Dostoyevsky felt himself impotent in the face of the gradual assimilation of utilitarian, materialistic and nihilist ideals by the new generation of Russian intellectuals. In the emulation of Western revolutionary culture, he came to see a threat to Russian nationhood, to true Russian identity and to traditional Russian values such as Orthodox Christianity. In his novels he sought to examine and question the ideologies of leading theorists influenced by Western radical thought; ideologies that he believed were flawed, deceptive and contradictory. This study focuses on the development of the themes of radicalisation and terrorism in the three chosen novels. Emphasis is laid on the devastating impact of radical ideology and terrorist activity on the individual.

The violence toward the semifeudal peasantry that came from English capitalists in the 14th to 17th centuries shaped the pre-history of capitalism. The continuity of this violence toward more primitive peoples shaped the modern history of capitalism. In the first case, this violence is used in order to establish capitalism; in the other, it develops and universalizes its concept. In both cases, violence is inevitable and inseparable from capital. However, in the case of peripheral countries, where the capitalist mode of production is combined with another mode of production, violence becomes even more evident. This paper has the objective of investigating violence in the particular case of Russia and its effect on Maxim Gorky’s realist literature. We start from the premise that structural and ‘naturalized’ violence in Russia between the last quarter of the 19th century to early 20th century – focus of this paper – is inherent to the implementation of the capitalist mode of production and liberal ideals in a feudal society, with different coexisting modes of production, when the brutal violence among the populace was even bigger than in the formality that characterized human relations in capitalism. The unequal rhythm of capitalist development in the international arena in locations that are lagging behind, according to Trotsky, ended up creating its own history in underdeveloped nations, when the late capitalism will be marked by the assimilation of more modern elements from advanced nations and its adaptation to archaic material and cultural conditions. Realist literature is by definition the one that, from reality itself, can go beyond an appearance of reality and meet its essence, representing it in its dynamic totality, in which beginning and end are man himself in his authenticity. Gorky’s work was chosen for its reflection upon the violence brought about in this period, revealing russian society’s contradictions in its process of adherence to capitalism in its imperialist phase, keeping traces of the old regime / A violência é um princípio do capitalismo que o compõe desde a sua gênese ao seu desenvolvimento moderno. A violência originária do capitalismo inglês dos séculos XIVXVII sobre o campesinato semifeudal forma a pré-história do capitalismo. A continuidade desta violência sobre os povos atrasados forma a história moderna do capitalismo. Em um caso, a violência atua para formar o capitalismo; noutro, para desenvolver e universalizar seu conceito. Em ambos, a violência é inevitável e inseparável do capital, mas, no caso dos países periféricos, onde o modo de produção capitalista está associado a outro modo de produção, a violência se faz ainda mais presente. A pesquisa ora apresentada tem como objeto de investigação a violência na particularidade russa e seu reflexo na literatura realista de Máximo Gorki. Partimos do pressuposto de que a violência estrutural e “naturalizada” na Rússia entre o último quartil do século XIX e início do século XX – recorte da pesquisa – é inerente à implementação do modo de produção capitalista e dos ideais liberais numa sociedade de base feudal, coexistindo modos de produção distintos, quando a brutal violência entre os extratos populares era ainda maior que no formalismo que caracteriza as relações humanas no capitalismo. A desigualdade de ritmo do desenvolvimento do capitalismo no plano internacional acabou por impor uma historicidade própria nas localidades atrasadas, segundo Trotsky (1977), quando o capitalismo tardio será marcado pela assimilação de elementos mais modernos das nações avançadas e sua adaptação a condições materiais e culturais arcaicas. A literatura realista é, por definição, aquela que, a partir da própria realidade, consegue ultrapassar a aparência da realidade e ir ao encontro de sua essência, figurando-a em sua totalidade dinâmica, na qual o início e o fim são o próprio homem em sua autenticidade. A obra de Gorki foi eleita por refletir a violência gerada nesse momento, revelando as contradições da sociedade russa no seu processo de aderência ao capitalismo em sua fase imperialista, guardando traços do antigo regime

Education systems are influenced by belief systems. Russia has throughout its history been guided by two rigid dogmatic belief systems: • the Russian Orthodox Church • the Communist ideology While other influences also prevailed, notably autocracy, humanism and nationalism, these were secondary to the dogma of the Church in the centuries preceding the Revolution in 1917. Autocracy could be regarded as an outflow of the dogma of the Church, which had established its links with the ruling elite early in its history, whereas the others originated from other sources and for other reasons. This study in the history and development of the Russian education system traces its origins back into the inchoate beginnings of the Russian nation and attempts to show how: • the Zeitgeist of a particular era led to the development of a particular dogmatic belief system • the Zeitgeist and the dogmatic beliefs influenced the figures who determined educational policies and reforms / Onderwysstelsels word be"invloed deur 'n bepaalde denksisteem. So byvoorbeeld is Rusland deur die geskiedenis deur rigiede dogmatiese denksisteme gelei. Gelyklopend daarmee was daar ook ander denksisteme wat 'n invloed op die Russiese denke uitgeoefen het. lnvloede soos outokrasie, humanisme en nasionalisme was egter sekonder tot die dogmatiese invloede van die Kerk in die eeue voor die Rewolusie van 1917. Outokrasie kan weliswaar as 'n uitvloeisel van die dogma van die Kerk , wat vroeg in die Russiese geskiedenis 'n verbintenis met die regerende elite gesmee het, beskou word. Die onderhawige studie oor die ontwikkeling en verloop van die Russiese opvoedstelsel vind sy oorsprong in die beginjare van die Russiese volk en poog om aan te toon hoe: • die Zeitgeist van 'n bepaalde era tot bepaalde dogmatiese denksisteme gelei het • die Zeitgeist en dogmatiese denksisteme 'n invloed op die opvoedingsdenke en onderwyshervormings van bepaalde historiese figure in die Russiese verlede uitgeoefen het. / Educational Studies / M.
