Dostoevsky wasn’t perfect- he was at times a terrible gambler. I am sure he had quarrels with his wife. I have no doubt you read that he beat his wife. But do you have to spread Soviet lies around to others. Dostoevsky was their most hated writer of all- with good reason.

And here I thought I was holding him up as an example of an incredibly valuable writer who exemplified the highest ideals of humanity, despite whatever personal problems he had - and all the while I was spreading Soviet lies!

Drats - foiled again by those damn sneaky Russkies.
