We present an informal dialogue about Dostoevsky between two historians of the Russian literature, one from Poland, the other one from Switzerland. The conversation approaches different subjects such as the reception of Dostoevsky as writer and as man, installation of his new cult, the salient traits of his work, his artistic discoveries. One particular topic concerns Dostoevsky's role today when Russia is using his ideas to build its mythology of a great power.
