Twenty Six Days from the Life of Dostoyevsky (Russian: Двадцать шесть дней из жизни Достоевского, romanized: Dvadtsat shest dney iz zhizni Dostoevskogo) is a 1981 Soviet biographical film about writer Fyodor Dostoevsky directed by Aleksandr Zarkhi.

It was entered into the 31st Berlin International Film Festival where Anatoly Solonitsyn won the Silver Bear for Best Actor.

He signs a leonine contract with the publisher Stellovsky which dictates that in a short time he needs to provide the manuscript of his new novel.

On the advice of his friends, Fyodor uses services of a stenographer, one of the best course trainees of Olkhin.

A gentle, sincere feeling that arose between the writer and his assistant, grows into love.
