On November 3, 2019, a bust of Fyodor Dostoevsky was ceremoniously unveiled on the wall of the chapel located in the famous Assistens Cemetery in Copenhagen. This cemetery is the final resting place of notable figures such as the fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen, philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, and scientist Niels Bohr.

In October 1865, the great Russian writer Dostoevsky visited Copenhagen to stay with his childhood friend, Baron Alexander Wrangel. During his visit, he went to the cemetery to pay tribute to Søren Kierkegaard, the Danish writer and philosopher whose ideas of existentialism influenced Dostoevsky's work. Now, his bust faces the grave of this great thinker.

Fyodor Mikhailovich also visited the chapel at the cemetery, where a cultural center called 'Assistens' was later built. This center has hosted a theater for many years, where Danish actors introduce audiences to Dostoevsky's works by staging plays based on his books.

In Denmark, Dostoevsky's work is held in high regard: theaters in Copenhagen regularly stage adaptations of his works. The small Capella Theater, located in the cemetery, successfully showcased the play 'The Dream of a Ridiculous Man,' which received high praise from critics. This theater has also staged plays based on 'A Gentle Creature' and 'The Little Boy at Christ's Christmas Tree.'

The date of the bust's unveiling was not chosen by chance: in the play 'The Dream of a Ridiculous Man,' the main character states that he discovered the truth last November, specifically on the third, and since then remembers every moment.
