More than a century ago, Dostoevsky finished writing The Brothers Karamazov. He wrote of the eternal “Russian boys” who will always debate “the big questions, nothing less: Is there a God, is there immortal life? As for those who don’t believe in God, they take up the subjects of socialism and anarchism, remaking humanity according to a new model. Don’t they see that all they’ll end up with is the devil? It’s always the same questions, no matter how they are posed.”
