Bratya Karamazovy ran in 1879–80 and closed as a book in 1880. The Pushkin speech of June 1880 is a different public act the same year.
Context
Pobedonostsev read; conservative politics of the late Diary sit nearby. Education path: a trial and a monastery as readable argument. Mixed: the book can license reaction. Later films are reception.
Why it matters
Karamazov is an education path of high confidence and the heaviest late-novel weight on this page, still modest as a macro indicator. Mixed reactionary uses stay mixed.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Karamazov is not the Pushkin speech and not the antisemitic Diary pages. Mixed effects of The Brothers Karamazov completed as a serial, 1879–1880 are separate paths.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
The contribution type is direct. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
Shared responsibility is part of The Brothers Karamazov completed as a serial, 1879–1880. Naming Fyodor Dostoyevsky does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1880-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
