10350b Plaza Semiónovskaya [hoy Pionerskaya Ploshchad], donde iba a tener lugar el fusilamiento de Dostoyevsky.

A los nueve meses se hace pública la sentencia: veintiuna penas de muerte entre las que se encuentra la de Dostoyevski. Y el 22 de Diciembre, en la Plaza de Semiónovskaya de Petersburgo se desarrolla el acontecimiento. Finalmente se indulta a los condenados, conmutando la pena por cuatro años de trabajos forzados y luego servicio como soldado raso por tiempo indefinido.
