I know I read somewhere that his 2nd wife actually wrote wondering if he had murdered someone because one day while they were on a walk he stopped her and told her they were at the place where Raskolnikov had hid the loot and it scared her.

No, I'm SURE that he haven't committed murder.
I don't know...Maybe he got an inspiration somewhere, by listening the story of someone, some kind of confession, I don't know....But, I think neither do this is true, because the inspiration is for the beginners, and Dostoevsky was a great writer, really. And that's why the story of C&P is so strong that it makes you think it's written by the experience.
Who knows, but IMO, he had a gambling problem and gambled his wife's ring away...
In a way that could very well feel the same afterwards and he could've drawn upon that - ie a cocky bastard looking for gains/better life, but only too late does he realize he sacrificed his family's trust...and the tension of hiding it and deciding when they'll find out vs. you telling them.
No, I personally don't feel Dostoevsky committed murder. However, since he did serve time in a hard work prison and was sentanced to death; I think that he got a chance to know a few murderers. That, coupled with his love/hate relationship with Suslova, probably generated a lot of thought patterns in that direction. This is clearly evident in "The Idiot" and the character of Roginin.
Silence is golden. But in the absence of silence, classical music is the avenue which chaos is turned into harmonious order.
Yes... I am THIS weird
