Status Updates From مذكرات من البيت الميت

I love how Dostoevsky explores this atypical paradigm where good can arise in bad people, i.e the prisoners, while bad can arise in good people, i.e. the “gentlemen” executioners.

There were some passages from this chapter that were strikingly relevant to current times, as Dostoevsky spells out the poisonous consequences of an indifferent society towards tyranny.
