I see why this post emerged, and there is obviously no way of judging the past by the standards of the current days. But… Just for the reference.
Dostoyevsky hated Ukraine, thought that Ukrainian people are not in any forms allowed to have their own country and independence, mocked our language and was envious when Taras Shevchenko, prominent Ukrainian poet who also by the way was in labour camp in much much much worse conditions, was praised more than Fyodor Mikhailovych himself at a party amongst writers.
I don’t say that we should burn Tolstoy’s or Turgenev’s books just because 21st century Russians burn our houses, hospitals and schools. It’s just a… timing problem, huh?.. I can’t imagine Italian students cosily reading about the glory of Russian nation and their right to kill whomever they fucking want in the name of God and emperor (all of these ideas presented in almost ALL Dostoyevsky’s text, except for a single one novella he wrote BEFORE labour camp) right now, when these notions led millions of people to justify the bloodshed.
So… I don’t know, guys… If the whole world continues reading Russian classics without any critical judgment and only with blind praise, maybe one day Russian propagandists will “find” something in “Crime and Punishment” or “War and Peace” about Milan being inherently bound with Moscow and decide to send there some tanks just to show their respect and friendship.
