Dostoevskii's Raskol'nikov is not simple killer,but he is theorist. In his article " On Crime" ( 3d chapter ) he suggested that only just "ordinary crime" can produce mental disorder connected with will's collapse and irrationality of behavior of killer. However, there is a kind of Raskol'nikov's "extraordinary"murder, based on "special ideology" which is absolutely free from mental disorder and "ethically possible"... We know what sort of "experiment" Raskol'nikov made in 'Crime and Punishment'.
Dostoevskii is genius and I had found that his deepest post-Kantian moral theory is well developed. Follow Dostoevskii we can consider modern dispute between West ,NATO and Russia on mass murder in Osetia. West and western educated president of Georgia try to develop Raskol'nikov-like relativistic moral ideas to justify mass murder of the people of Osetia in the terms of some "High Western Ethical theory of punishment of bad and provocative Osetia's people" (!) and "Noble Defense of Democracy"... It is supposed that mass murder in Osetia is best recommendation for NATO membership for Georgia.
It is very similar with the case described by Dostoevskii. As is well-known, Dostoevskii predicted that even in "ideinom"("ideological" ) murder usual mental killer's disorder is not avoidable. Thus, sooner or later, corrupted West and corrupted killers of inocent people must realize their own Raskol'nikov-like seekness.
Struggle with Moral law is suicidal for anyone. NATO must await moral collapse. And Mr Rogoff probably is right in his prediction of the USA Bank catastrophe in November-December, because Bank business is based on trivial human trust.
