"Приговор" is a short essay, not a fictional story, and it is usually translated into English as "The Sentence."
In this essay, written in 1873, Dostoevsky discusses his philosophical and religious views on the meaning of life and the inevitability of death. He argues that life loses meaning and purpose without faith in God and the soul's immortality.
Dostoevsky posits that if there is no God and no afterlife, nothing ultimately matters, and there is no basis for morality. He suggests that in such a universe, suicide would be a logical response to the absurdity and meaninglessness of existence.
However, Dostoevsky himself rejects this nihilistic conclusion. As a devout Russian Orthodox Christian, he asserts his belief in God and the soul's immortality, which he sees as the foundation for finding meaning and purpose in life.
"The Sentence" provides insight into Dostoevsky's religious and philosophical worldview, which underpins much of his literary work. It showcases his grappling with existential questions and his ultimate affirmation of Christian faith as the antidote to despair and nihilism.
