All the novelties, reforms, ideas\nhave reached us in the provinces, but to see it all more clearly\none must be in Petersburg. And it's my notion that you observe\nand learn most by watching the younger generation. And I\nconfess I am delighted . . .\"\n\"At what?\"\n\"Your question is a wide one.

There's no practicality.\" Razumihin flew at him.\n\"Practicality is a difficult thing to find; it does not drop down\nfrom heaven.

Anyway, there's no prac-\nticality. Practicality goes well shod.\"\n\"I don't agree with you,\" Pyotr Petrovitch replied, with evi-\ndent enjoyment. \"Of course, people do get carried away and\nmake mistakes, but one must have indulgence; those mistakes\nare merely evidence of enthusiasm for the cause and of abnormal\nexternal environment. If little has been done, the time has\nbeen but short; of means I will not speak. It's my personal view,\nif you care to know, that something has been accomplished al-\nready. New valuable ideas, new valuable works are circulating\nin the place of our old dreamy and romantic authors. Literature\nis taking a maturer form, many injurious prejudices have been\nrooted up and turned into ridicule. ... In a word, we have cut\nourselves off irrevocably from the past, and that, to my think-\ning, isa great thing ...\"\n\"He's learnt it by heart to show off!\" Raskolnikov pro-\nnounced suddenly.\n\"What?\" asked Pyotr Petrovitch, not catching his words;\nbut he received no reply.","text_extracted_at":"2026-01-20T15:31:18.569Z","text_extracted_by":"pdf-processor","text_has_content":true,"text_source":"born_digital","uploaded":true},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KFCZZ05FKVDDMJJV3YE9Q4WH","peer_label":"crimepunishment00dostiala.pdf","peer_type":"file","predicate":"derived_from"},{"peer":"01KESYJX0Z6XE0HWTS5N3SDG0B","peer_label":"The Classics","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"}],"ver":2,"created_at":"2026-01-20T15:31:19.246Z","ts":"2026-01-20T15:31:20.424Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFCZWTBNJH4WFMS8354919KY"}}
