Apollinaria Prokofyevna Suslova (Russian: 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,^[1] wife of Vasily Rozanov and a sister of Russia's first female physician Nadezhda Suslova.^[2][3] 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,^[4] Lizaveta Nikolaevna in The Possessed, and both Katerina and Grushenka in The Brothers Karamazov.^[5][6][7] Suslova has often been portrayed as a femme fatale.^[8] Fyodor Dostoyevsky called her one of the most remarkable women of his time.^[7]

Her own works include a short story Pokuda, published in Mikhail Dostoyevsky's Vremya magazine in 1861, Do svadby (1863),^[7] and the autobiographical Chuzhaya i Svoy, published in 1928.^[9]

Early life[edit]

Polina Suslova was born in Panino, Nizhny Novgorodguberniya.^[10] 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.^[7]

Polina attended a finishing school, and when the Suslov family moved to Saint Petersburg, she attended 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 women rights.^[7][11]

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.'^[12]

Relationship with Fyodor Dostoyevsky[edit]

In 1861, Suslova attended the classes taught by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, already a renowned writer, whose lectures were very popular among young people. At that time, Dostoyevsky was 40, and she was 21. Daughter Lyubov Dostoyevskaya (who was born several years later, well after the affair had come to an end) opined that Suslova 'spun around Dostoevsky and tried to please him in every way, but Dostoevsky did not notice her. Then she wrote him a love letter'.^[12] Another version is that Suslova brought her writings to Dostoyevsky and asked for advice. Her story was bad, but Dostoyevsky was attracted to a beautiful young girl and promised to teach her writing.^[13] Yet another explanation is that Dostoyevsky had read Suslova's story, liked it and wanted to meet the author.^[14]

The relationship was difficult and painful for both sides, but mostly for Dostoyevsky.^[8] He was exhausted by work, poor health, and increasing financial distress.^[15] Suslova was imperious, manipulative, jealous,^[7][16] and she constantly demanded that he divorce his 'consumptive wife' Maria Isayeva.^[11] Dostoyevsky later noted that she was 'a sick selfish woman', whose 'selfishness and self-esteem were colossal' and who did not tolerate any imperfection in other people. After Maria's death in 1865, he proposed to Suslova, but she declined.^[17]

Unlike Dostoyevsky's second wife Anna Snitkina, Polina Suslova rarely read his books, did not respect his work, and regarded him as a simple admirer. Dostoyevsky wrote her once: 'My dear, I am not inviting you to a cheap essential happiness.' After their breakup, she burned the compromising papers, including their letters. In 1867, Fyodor Dostoyevsky married Anna Snitkina.^[18]

Later life[edit]

Vasily Rozanov met Suslova when he was a schoolboy, and she was already over thirty years old. He fell in love at first sight.^[7] Rozanov had known her as the former mistress of Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It was enough to spark his interest, because Dostoyevsky was the writer whom Rozanov admired most.^[19] Rozanov made only a brief entry in his diary: 'Meeting Apollinaria Prokofyevna Suslova. My love for her. Suslova loves me, and I love her very much. She is the most wonderful woman I've ever met.' They had an affair for three years, and married in November 1880.^[4][7] She was 40 at that time, and he was 24.

They parted in 1886.^[4] Their life together was a torture for Rozanov, as evident from his personal correspondence.^[7] Suslova made public scenes of jealousy and flirted with his friends at the same time. Rozanov's daughter, Tatyana, stated in her memoirs: 'Suslova mocked him, saying that what he was writing were just some stupid books, she insulted him, and finally dumped him'. Suslova broke up with Rozanov twice, but he always forgave her and begged to return home. After they finally parted, Rozanov admitted: 'There was something brilliant (in her temperament) that made me love her blindly and timidly despite all the suffering.'^[7]

After Rozanov met his future wife, Varvara, Polina refused to divorce him for 20 years.

Beginning in the early 1900s, Polina Suslova lived alone in Sevastopol.^[7] She died in 1918 at the age of 78.

“The Gambler” is my latest book, the rags-to-riches tale of Kirk Kerkorian, a poor immigrant’s son who made and lost billions on bold business ventures. I’ve written about other self-made billionaires, but those others were not so heroic.

There was the former Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos, for example. He looted his billions from his own impoverished country. Then there were the Colombian drug lords, the “gentlemen of Cali.” They ran what was at that time the biggest, richest crime syndicate in the history of crime.

Fascinating story material in every case. But now, with thanks to publisher Harper Collins and its Dey Street division, “The Gambler” has joined the other billionaires on America’s bookshelves.

The Gambler

KIRK KERKORIAN combined the daring of a pioneer aviator, the fortitude of a scrappy boxer and the cunning of an inscrutable poker player with a maestro’s sense of timing in the cutthroat world of business wheeling and dealing to become one of the most successful self-made tycoons in American history. Yet, the press-shy billionaire’s inspiring personal story was largely unknown.

His illiterate Armenian immigrant parents arrived in Los Angeles broke and repeatedly struggling to avoid evictions. Kirk quit school in the eighth grade, cleared brush in the Sierra-Nevada mountains, worked as a day laborer at MGM Studios and tried to launch a professional boxing career.

His biography is one of those Only in America tales of an immigrant dreamer.

He ended up owning the film studio where he once worked for a couple of dollars a day. He helped invent the leisure industry and transformed the face of Las Vegas. Three times he built the world’s biggest resort hotel. He became one of the world’s richest men. Yet, he never put his name on any buildings. He rarely granted interviews. And he gave away billions without fanfare to charities and humanitarian causes.

From News to Books to Screens

It started as a front page story in the Los Angeles Times about the fall of the Cali drug cartel (2007). It was also the public introduction of Jorge Salcedo, the extraordinary man inside the crime syndicate whose daring and defiance brought it crashing down.

Four years later the story was published by Random House as the book “At the Devil’s Table” (2011). A series of foreign-language versions followed. In Spanish it was “En la Boca del Lobo.” In Portuguese: “A Mesa com O Diabo.” In Dutch: “De Rechterhand van de Duivel.” In Polish: “Uwiklany.” It has since been published in Italian and Serbian versions.

There have been television versions as well. In 2014 Sony-Teleset released its 80-episode Spanish-language telenovela “En la Boca del Lobo” based closely on the book. And in 2017 the popular Netflix series “Narcos” based its Season 3 episodes on the Cali cartel. The author was a story consultant for the series. Additional feature and documentary projects are under consideration.

PLOT BY PLOT, LIE BY LIE:
From Democrat to Despot

When once-adoring crowds turned on the regime of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos in 1986, the couple was forced to flee, taking along billions looted from their desperately poor nation.

Left behind, along with a legacy of excess and oppression, were more than 2,000 pairs of designer shoes and the ousted dictator’s handwritten diary.

The oddly revealing document is a rare piece of history. In its more than 2,500 pages and related records, it charts the lies, plots and palace intrigues behind an elected leader’s transformation from a popular democrat to a delusional and messianic dictator.

“THE MORGUE” IS AN OLD NEWSPAPER TERM that to journalists of a certain age refers to the mildew-scented repository of old stories — the clip files. Today it’s more likely to be called the editorial library. Of course, in the electronic age there’s no place for actual paper clippings. Stories are no longer logged away in those musty drawers and buried from public view. Here’s a digital sampling of timeless stories from the author’s byline collection, retrieved from L.A. Times morgue:

RACING TO AMERICA— One rust-bucket of an old ship and its passenger manifest filled with “undesirable aliens” defies a stormy Atlantic and swelling anti-immigrant sentiment in the U.S. to beat out richer and more acceptable migrants in the great Quota Race of 1923. It’s a time much like today with raging debate against foreigners and with political forces trying to stem their influx. Among those 1920s “undesirables” are displaced Eastern Europeans, Armenians, Greeks, Russians, Jews, pacifist Mennonites…and the author’s family.

IRANIAN SPIES, ASSASSINS — He was Iran’s prime minister when the Islamic revolution forced him from office and into exile in Paris. For the next decade Shapour Bakhtiar uses France as his sanctuary and platform from which to wage a public relations war against religious hardliners. His brutal murder by Iranian government assassins exposes a network of spies and assassins deployed against Tehran’s critics around the world. A story based on rare access to French investigative reports may also help explain some of the West’s continuing distrust of Tehran’s regime.

TERROR IN NEW YORK CITY— After a devastating terrorist blast, how do federal bomb investigators piece together bits and fragments of seemingly worthless rubble to find markers that identify who did it? The author gains special access to the crack ATF forensics team that had swiftly unraveled just such a mystery — the deadly World Trade Center bombing of 1993.

ARIZONA PRISON BREAK — Three kids break their father out of the state penitentiary in hopes of staging a family reunion across the border in Mexico. Their audacious plot is carried out in broad daylight without firing a shot and no one gets hurt. Not at first. Could this true crime story be the stuff of legends? The author explores the dark side of family love and loyalty in exclusive interviews with the boys’ mother.
