Zapiski iz podpolya ran in Epoch in 1864, a two-part confession against crystal-palace reason. It is not Crime and Punishment and not a unique psychiatric file. Mikhail’s death the same year is context, not this book.

Context

The Crystal Palace and Chernyshevsky sit in the polemic. Shared with Epoch’s remaining staff. Education path: anti-utilitarian interiority in print. Mixed: the voice is also spite. Polarising politics of Demons is later.

Shared responsibility is part of Notes from Underground appears in Epoch, 1864. Naming Fyodor Dostoyevsky does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1864-01-01 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.

Why it matters

Underground confession is an education path of high confidence and modest-to-moderate cultural weight, still not a macro indicator. Mixed spite is why it is not stored as cohesion.
