Summary/Abstract: This article aims to present an overview of the concept of ‘dostoevshchina’ in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes / Yugoslavia, as well as to point out the similarities and differences in the perception of this concept in Soviet Russia and the Russian diaspora, respectively. The article attempts to clarify the status of this concept in the Balkans, and analyse the book Dostoevsky and Dostoevshchina by philosopher and missionary Grigory Spiridonovich Petrov. Studying the disputes about Dostoevsky from magazines worldwide, and those from “Russia Abroad”, helps the researcher understand the issues that both Soviet Russia and the Russian diaspora faced at the time and dealt with by relying on the ideas from Dostoevsky’s opus.
