In 1854 the writer had wholeheartedly agreed, as he himself admits, with Granovsky's article on the Russo-Turkish War of 1855. Granovsky had pointed out that Russia's politics towards the Slav nations had been one of capture and subjugation. In 1876 Dostoevsky refutes these charges and feels that Russia's aims are fair.
