Crime and Punishment

Dostoyevsky is a Russian curse

By Lana V LynxPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read
Illustration by Stanley Wyatt

Dostoyevsky dissects the Russian soul's darkest sides: desperation, violence, late remorse. Doom and gloom. Even Sonya, one tiny ray of light in complete darkness, gets punished for love.

Does the punishment really fit the crime? Or makes doom and gloom a self-fulfilling prophecy for Russians? Read Grin's Scarlet Sails instead.
