E N D
Raskolnikov the Rascal • The name, Raskolnikov, has been traditionally identified with the denotation “schismatic.” The Russian word “raskol” (schism) and the “raskol ‘nik” (schismatic) are generally used to identify the split from the Russian Orthodox church in the seventeenth century. The exact form “raskol ‘nikov” can be found in nineteenth centruy Russian dictionaries in the meaning “one who belongs to” or “one of the schismatics.” ~Thomas R. Beyer, Jr. Beyer, Thomas R., Jr. “Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment.” Explicator, Fall 82, Vol. 41 Issue 1, p. 33.
