The book restores the writer's 500-year genealogy; The medical-genetic and psychological characteristics of the representatives of the genus, social and historical-cultural aspects of its existence during the 16th-20th centuries are taken into account. The generational paintings provide information about more than 600 personalities (which is almost twice the number in the “Chronicle” of M.V. Volotsky in 1933). A significant part of the book consists of archival materials: judicial acts, church documents, official and private correspondence, investigative files of the NKVD, documents of the writer’s living descendants, etc. The publication is equipped with 17 genealogical tables and an alphabetical index of names. Being a cultural monument and recording a certain cross-section of scientific knowledge, “The Chronicle of the Dostoevsky Family” is not only a unique reference book for philologists, historians, anthropologists, geneticists, doctors, psychologists, but is also of interest to a wide range of readers.
