Lyubov Fyodorovna Dostoevskaya (Russian: Любо́вь Фёдоровна Достое́вская; 14 September 1869 – 10 November 1926), also known by the name Aimée Dostoyevskaya, was a Russian writer,[1] memoirist, and the second daughter of famous writer Fyodor Dostoevsky and his wife Anna. Their first, Sonya, was born in 1868 and died the same year.
Lyubov never married. Later in her life she became estranged from her mother and moved out of their house.[2] In 1913, after a trip abroad for medical treatment, Lyubov decided to stay there, and she lived abroad until her death in 1926.[2] At that period she was also known by the name Aimée Dostoyevskaya (Russian: Эме Достоевская).[3] She died in Italy of pernicious anemia.[3]
Although Lyubov Dostoevskaya was Orthodox, the funeral rite was Catholic by mistake.[4] A simple wooden cross on her grave was soon replaced by a small porphyry tomb. In 1931 Italia Letteraria magazine suggested that since Dostoevskaya was buried in Italy, it was the Italian government that should establish a memorial.[4] In December 1931 a granite pedestal was constructed, with an epitaph written by the editor of Venezia Tridentina magazine.[4] Resting place of Fyodor Dostoevsky's daughter in Gries has been preserved after cemetery reconstruction.[3] Her tomb was moved to Bolzano city's cemetery in 1957.
