Features: This paper was conceived and completed under the guidance of my supervisor, Professor Cheng Zhengmin. He devoted much effort to the writing of this thesis. Professor Cheng specializes in Russian literary theory, and therefore, he has a broad perspective when viewing issues. In many places of the thesis, his guidance helped broaden my horizons. For example, the concept of the paradoxes in Dostoevsky's thought and the artistic tension in his works is his viewpoint. Therefore, during the writing process, his advice played a significant role in improving my theoretical understanding. Professor Cheng is modest, sincere, and open-minded, and his character has also inspired me in my personal development. I originally majored in Russian literature and lacked theoretical expertise. The three years of systematic study at the university have greatly benefited me, especially under the meticulous guidance and encouragement of Professor Tong Qingbing. It is hard to believe, but our foundational courses were all tested through closed-book exams, which is probably unique in doctoral training. This was Professor Tong's initiative. Looking back now, even after entering the doctoral program, many fundamental knowledge areas remained unclear to us, and the closed-book exams forced us to sit for long hours, "." However, Professor Tong's teaching was never rigid; he was comprehensive and insightful, with an open mind. This allowed our learning to combine practicality with depth, truly enabling us to gain meaningful knowledge.
