 this is why you don't want to go to a russian gulag. dost paints a good picture of the cast of characters exiled in siberia and the lives they lead

 steps in to fragmentary moments of moral life and thoughts. definitely not prefers momentary impact like Gogol . House is neither real nor finctional. reputable Rusian literature.

 Dostoevsky is a marvel. What amazes me in this specific piece is the relative freedom that the criminals have had in the colonies... Important: Dostoevsky wrote this from his own real experience. It's almost a documentary.

 Overvalued by critics. It is more Tolstoy like "poetry" writing (I said nothing about Tolstoy :-)) than the one written by Dostoevki in the pursuit of God
