Abstract
19th-century Saint Petersburg was a great inspiration for Russian writers. The paper is dedicated to the image of Saint Petersburg in the work of F. M. Dostoyevsky (1821–1881) who lived in the city most of his life. Saint Petersburg interconnects the entire Dostoyevsky's work from the early creation to his most significant works. The author of the paper concentrates on the Diary of a Writer, one of Dostoyevsky's late works, in which she examines the connection of the genre with the theme of the literary work. Through the genre of the Diary of a Writer, Saint Petersburg acquires a different role compared with the novels. Moreover, this work illustrates the ambivalence with which the writer perceived Saint Petersburg as his home.
