Apollinaria Prokofyevna Suslova ((ロシア語:Аполлина́рия Проко́фьевна Су́слова); 1839–1918), commonly known as Polina Suslova (Поли́на Су́слова), was a Russian short story writer, who is perhaps best known as a mistress of writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky, wife of Vasily Rozanov and a sister of Russia's first female physician Nadezhda Suslova. She is considered to be the prototype of several female characters in Dostoyevsky's novels, such as Polina in ''The Gambler'', Nastasya Filipovna in ''The Idiot'', Katerina Ivanovna Marmeladova in ''Crime and Punishment'', Lizaveta Nikolaevna in ''The Possessed'', and both Katerina and Grushenka in ''The Brothers Karamazov''.〔 Suslova has often been portrayed as a ''femme fatale''.〔 Fyodor Dostoyevsky called her the one of the most remarkable women of his time.〔 Her own works include a short story ''Pokuda'', published in Mikhail Dostoyevsky's ''Vremya'' magazine in 1861, ''Do svadby'' (1863),〔 and the autobiographical ''Chuzhaya i Svoy'', published in 1928. == Early life == Polina Suslova was born in Panino, Nizhny Novgorod guberniya.〔(Russian) 〕 Polina's father, Prokofiy Suslov, was a serf of the Sheremetevs, but was able to succeed as a merchant and manufacturer. He decided to provide proper education for his daughters, Polina (a diminutive form of the given name Apollinaria) and Nadezhda. The girls had a governess, and a dancing teacher.〔 Polina attended a finishing school, and when the Suslov family moved to Saint Petersburg, she the Saint Petersburg State University. She enjoyed the political struggle, the demonstrations, and students' meetings. She was sympathetic to the radical views of that time, especially regarding the women rights. Lyubov Dostoyevskaya in ''Dostoyevsky as Portrayed by His Daughter'' described her as a young provincial woman, whose "rich relatives were able to send her enough money to live comfortably in Saint Petersburg. Every autumn she entered the University as a student, but she never actually studied or passed any exams. However, she attended lectures, flirted with the students, … made them sign petitions, participated in all political demonstrations, … sang ''La Marseillaise'', scolded the Cossacks and behaved provocatively." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Polina Suslova」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
