“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

I have been thinking about the complex and kind of baffling dynamic that Verkhovensky and Stavrogin have going on between them and I finally think I have it pinned down:
Verkhovensky holds Stavrogin in a checkmate, and Stavrogin holds Verkhovensky in a chokehold.
Throughout the book, Verkhovensky does increasingly dangerous things to ensure Stavrogin is tied to him, bound both with some sort of beneficial, parasitic relationship, as well as simply with fear of imprisonement or death. Everytime Verkhovensky does something, he makes sure to work on the two different sides of the coin: for example, when he orders Fedka to do away with the Lebyadkins, he not only relieves Stavrogin of two burdens at once (being married to Marya and being blackmailed by the captain), he also makes sure he has an alibi (a night with Lizaveta, which in and of itself is also what Stavrogin was after the whole time). And then, he makes sure that everybody immediately knows that Marya was Stavrogin's wife and that he benefits greatly from her death. Due to all of this, Stavrogin is trapped in one position and cannot make a move without stepping on Verkhovensky's toes and putting in motion a series of events which would be highly unfavourable to himself.
On the other hand, Verkhovensky is also risking quite a lot in pulling all of these stunts after the other, and sure, some of them are mostly out there because he wants to discredit his father, but the most dangerous things are always done with Stavrogin in mind. And while Stavrogin is absolutely being complicit by knowing of everything/almost everything that will take place and doing nothing to stop Pyotr, he is also not guilty according to the law (someone please correct me on the penal law in imperial Russia) - but Pyotr is. Just as he is spying on everybody in the town, he could likewise be spied on, or even simply overheard by literally anybody. Fedka could denounce him for paying him for the murders, Mavriky Nikolaevich could physically harm Pyotr (or even simply kill him) for entangling Lizaveta into it, Shatov could kill him during their confrontation... he is risking quite a lot, much more than what is comfortable for him. But he continues to do everything again and again because he is held in place by Stavrogin, who deliberately doesn't tell him: no.

I'm rereading Crime and Punishment in two languages at the same time and I will say it out loud: Razumikhin and Raskolnikov should be together, my dear gods, they are so gay for eachother. Like, if you disagree I can fight you, they should be together and that's it.

No pude conseguir nada, ni siquiera ser malvado; no conseguí ser atractivo, ni perverso, ni criminal, ni un héroe..., ni siquiera un miserable insecto. Y ahora estoy muriendo en un rincón donde trato, sin mucho éxito, de consolarme diciendo que un hombre inteligente no llega a nada y que solo un imbécil puede triunfar.

Se me presentaba con claridad la idea de que la vida y el mundo parecían ahora depender de mí. Incluso podría decir que el mundo, en aquel momento, estaba hecho sólo para mí: si me suicidaba, el mundo desaparecería, al menos para mí. Por no hablar de que en realidad era probable que ya nada existiera tras mi desaparición, y que cuando se apagara mi conciencia, se apagaría y desaparecería al instante todo el mundo, como si fuera una aparición de mi conciencia, pues tal vez todo ese mundo, y toda esa gente, no eran únicamente más que yo.

Ive been thinking about Demons today and reminded myself that I once calculated (cause I don't think it was explicitly mentioned in the novel?) that the plot begins around 1866. A very short time before that, in 1861, serfdom was abolished in Russia, which is for example how Shatov could even begin studying, having been by birth a serf. I cannot underline this hard enough - Daria and Ivan's father was literally owned by Barbara Petrovna, like an object. We have no proof to think she was in any way worse towards her serfs than towards other people, in fact we have proof to the contrary by some of her qualities or the fact she as well as adopted Daria and took care of Shatov when he really needed it. The important thing about it is, however, something else:
Stavrogin grew up in a reality where he could expect to inherit people, actual people, from his parents. If the abolishement did not proceed, he would in the future own Shatov and Dasha and it was snatched from him right at the edge of adulthood. In this light the fact that he sneaked in through a back door to posses both siblings is even more sinister than it could have appeared before.
Lands in Russia were described by how many people (serfs) lived there, they were tied to the land, could be sold or inherited etc. They were called simply "souls". Stavrogin then grew up expecting to one day come into literal physical possession of the souls of the siblings, and when it was clear he would not, he did what was in his power to actually steal these souls - quite literally, and he was successful in that.
