Dostoyevsky literally visited the Optina monasteries, and met the clairvoyant and miracle-working elders there. He knew that Orthodoxy was the actual truth, but that we are mostly too attached our daily self-absorbed bullshit to care about it or accept it.

St Paisius Velichkovsky wasn't a fictional figure made up in Brothers Karamazov, he was the revitaliser of Orthodox monastic spirituality in both Russia and Greece. If you want a fuller context behind Brothers Karamazov, you should read his biography, about the lineage of the monasteries he fathered, and the spiritual writings that he translated (the philokalia).
