Started reading Dostoyevsky in my mid 20s, really didn’t have much impact on me. Read Brothers Karamazov at age 37, brought tears to my eyes. Truly a life changing author.
This is extraordinary. I’ve been reading Dostoevsky Solzhenitsyn and Tolstoy since childhood, my mother was obsessed with Russian history and a staunch anti communist. I’ve struggled for years to truly understand Dostoevsky and all the circumstances leading to the Russian Revolution, World War1 and World War2 and the tragic consequences of all these events. Thank you for this clear and concise history and narrative

I’ve only dove into this world since the events of 2020, it’s been quite the eye opener. J Peterson turned me onto all you mentioned. These men were absolutely brilliant in nailing down human behavior.
Thanks for this! Finally one who is not stressed while narrating.
He's the only author who has ever gettin inside my head and make me seriously think about myself what sort of person am i good or bad. Until i read doestyevski i did not know you can be either depending on the circumstances pure genius
I'm surprised this doesn't have more views! Very informative, wonderful job!
Dostoyevsky is my favorite writer!
Excellent work. Fascinating and tragic story, but Dostoyevsky is immortal, through his work.

What an excellent video about one of my favorite writers. Well done Sir!
Excellent information. Currently making a documentary about Dostoevsky, and this is very useful. Thank you!
Thank you for the extraordinary history and the glorious complexity that life exploded from the pen of Doestevisky
This is the best review of this author and icon I have seen. Much credit goes to the maker of this video.
Than you for good, deep explanation of Dostoyevsky's life. I like the music, too. Wonderful job. Thank you.
What an amazing and wonderful video. All praise for this creation.
Very well done! Thank-You! Loved the quote at the end.
I find your approach to Dostoievsky is the right one, the man and his sorroundings the family circumstances as well as the system of government on that due time. Great job.
Excellent work! I've read three of Dostoevsky's books within the last year; Crime and Punishment, The Gambler and Notes From the Underground. Your work was very informative and I learned more about him; thank you!

As a Catholic and some work in Poland, i was constantly aware of Dostoevsky work and faith, but for his gambling was is escape or retrieve with so much progressive changes. I very grateful for your work thanks alot. Jesus is the way, reading about Nietzshe should also be a must and compare value of individuals and community, especially in our AI world today! God Bless you

Hello! Thanks for watching! I have some sources listed at the end of the video. A video I used as a springboard for the beginning my script was the "The Man Who Knew Communism Best" by Bishop Fulton Sheen. I also recommend The Dostoevsky Encyclopedia by K.A. Lantz and Dostoevsky Reminisces by Anna Dostoevsky. The Carl Jung story comes from "Memories Dreams and Reflections," pages 115-117

He was anti-Semitic. Not unusual . He was also anti Roman Catholic. Using the word Jesuit was a curse.
Not so much a biography as an opinion piece about his philosophy
