# Omsk prison katorga, 1850–1854

Date: 1850

## The fact

From 1850 to 1854 [Dostoyevsky](/people/fyodor-dostoyevsky) served katorga in the Omsk fortress prison, fettered unfree labour among convicts. Prison disease is a neighbouring infect row. No unique flogging census is invented.

## Context

Labour path: convict work. Shared with unnamed prisoners. State authorship; his life carries it. Distinct from Semipalatinsk soldiering after 1854.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

## Evidence and sources

Britannica at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Fyodor-Dostoyevsky independently dates Omsk 1850–54. Gutenberg House of the Dead at https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/37536 is the later testimony-carrier, not the prison itself. Goslitmuz is the archival neighbourhood.

Official or archival record: Britannica — Fyodor Dostoyevsky (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Fyodor-Dostoyevsky; Encyclopaedia Britannica).

## Significance

Katorga is a labour-harm path of high confidence and heavy biographical weight, still not a unique Siberian convict table. The book’s justice path does not rebate these years.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

## What is established and what is not

Established: Omsk katorga 1850–54. Not established: a unique task-list by day. Distinct from the 1862 book and from 1849 Square. Omsk fortress 1850–54, fetters, convict barracks, not the Vremya text and not 22 December.

The attached driver is [labour-market-tightness](/drivers/labour-market-tightness). The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Omsk labour is not the Dead House serial and not Semipalatinsk service. Mixed effects of Omsk prison katorga, 1850–1854 are separate paths.

Shared responsibility is part of Omsk prison katorga, 1850–1854. Naming Fyodor Dostoyevsky does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1850-01-01 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.
