In this intense and prophetic episode of Hope is Kindled, we confront the ideological chaos of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Demons (also known as The Possessed). Through a blend of political, psychological, and spiritual analysis, we examine how radical ideas, when untethered from morality, can lead to destruction and despair. Exploring characters like Stavrogin and Shatov, and Dostoevsky’s critique of nihilism, we reflect on the dangers of extremism — and the fragile hope that still flickers amid ruin.
