The research material consists of the most representative fragments of novel’s translations made by Wilhelm Henckel (1882), Michael Feofanoff (1908, 1922), Alexander Eliasberg (1921), Elizabeth Kaerrick (ps. E. K. Rhasin, 1953), and Svetlana Geier (1994). The article sequentially explores the nuances of the individual author’s features of the conceptual field (the scale of the crisis contagion, escape, and predetermination of the end) re- produced by each of the translators. The findings suggest that the reduction and losses of some concept features in early translations are due to the lack of the translators’ attention to the features of Dostoevsky’s style, which affects the degree of transmission of the axiological dominants of the novel and the images of a number of characters.
