- Abstract
The article provides historical commentary on an episode from the biography of Nikolay Stavrogin, a character from The Demons by F. Dostoevsky. Official documents of the mid-1860s help to uncover how he could have regained his officer rank after being demoted to a soldier. This episode is important for understanding the characters’ relations, based on the military hierarchy. In addition, it clarifies Dostoevsky’s methods of working with historical facts.
