To Dostoevsky, America was a souless place where people die metaphysically upon arrival (he wrote about this in his diaries). In the sense of Svidrigailov, it meant dying literally since he was already lost. America is a sort of Hell, and as a burger I 100 percent agree.

I read C&P twice and still don't understand why Svidrigailov killed himself. Am I a pseud?
