Unbegaun ("Russian Surnames") says accent is on "ma." In practice, the 
possessor of the name (or, in this case, Dostoevsky?) is the final 
authority for himself.  The surname "Ivanov," for example, usually accents 
the final syllable, but some holders of the name, including the famous 
19th-c. artist, accent the second syllable.  Unbegaun's 2nd chapter, "Form, 
Stress, and Declension," is full of interesting stuff, including a 2nd 
section on names ending in "-ov/-ev."
