This was a question that always disturbed the 19th-century Russian intelligentsia. In 1863, while in prison, Chernyshevsky wrote a novel of the same name. It portrayed the relationships, morals, and way of life of the "new people" through the three main characters, a woman named Béla Pavlovna, her first husband Lopukhov, and her second husband Kirsanov. It also featured a young man named Rakhmetov who lived a more radical life than the three main characters, living a simple life and training his mind and body so that he could withstand torture.
