SOME RUSSIAN DUDE

 Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821–1881) was a Russian novelist, philosopher, and essayist, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in world literature. His works explore the depths of human psychology, morality, and faith amid the turbulent social and political changes of 19th-century Russia. Arrested for his involvement in a political group, he spent years in a Siberian prison camp — an experience that profoundly shaped his worldview and writing. 

Dostoevsky’s most famous novels, including Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Demons, and The Brothers Karamazov, delve into themes of guilt, redemption, free will, and the search for meaning in suffering. His profound insights into the human soul influenced countless writers, philosophers, and psychologists.

"People do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility. They prefer to live under someone else’s idea of truth, to obey rather than think, to blame rather than act. The real battle is not between good and evil, but between cowardice and courage — between those who dare to think for themselves and those who choose the comfort of chains." — Fyodor
