(355 words) Sir, I understand your suffering, and very sympathize with your grief. But still, I cannot justify your action, no matter how hard I try to explain myself to his motives. I know that it was hard for you in this small room that looked like a coffin, I know how insulting it is to feel social injustice. But still, in any situation, we must follow the call of the heart, and he will never lead us to a crime against human nature.

I would really like you to take the time to read the humanist authors and for a while abandon the study of German philosophy. This is necessary in order to broaden one's horizons and understand that there are other views on the solution of social problems. In particular, the path of Christian forgiveness is close to me. I think it’s worth forgiving insults and striving to do good, and not evil to achieve the realization of conditionally good intentions. Many people are unhappy with the state of society even today, after so many years, but murders will not solve their problems, rather, they will completely confuse their affairs. But if you stop blaming everything around for your troubles and start with yourself and your sphere of responsibility, you will be able to really influence the situation in the country and direct Russia for the better. Power is always the other side of the people, and it will change if people start to change. I will explain with examples that are clear to you: officials who are indifferent to their duties are the same Marmeladovs who were just lucky to take an advantageous place. They look at a person indifferent to himself and his family and do not understand why he should be helped, since he himself does not want anything. But if the backbone of society will consist of the Razumikhins, then in the majority the government will become kind, responsive and reasonable. Then the painful yellow Petersburg will become a brighter and more joyful place where everyone will have prospects, rights and freedoms. But without the mutual responsibility of society and the state for the fate of the country, this will not happen. Therefore, none of us, even in our thoughts, should attempt to encroach on the life and health of another person.

What can we do to improve the country? Start with yourself. You are already working for the good of Russia, even when you are in hard labor. We, your descendants, must develop our chosen field of activity, put our soul into self-development and not increase evil with resentment and hatred, but contribute to the progressive future of Russia and the whole world.
