The Meaning of Russian Nihilism. The origins of nihilistic doctrine can be traced to Greek antiquity; but the spread of this term and shaping of its meaning belongs to eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a historical period nihilism came close to the uprising movements, to the negation of the old principles and the refusal of a world built on a conservative tradition. This meaning of nihilism transpires in Dostoyevsky’s writings, in which his characters deny the divine principle. Then why does nihilism stand out by negation, what is the relationship between nihilism and atheism? Which are the values nihilism puts forward instead? Can we talk about any values regarding this new phenomenon? These are some questions we seek to answer in the following lines, using Dostoevsky’s writings, who revealed nihilism in all its breadth.
