It's one of those where we get sold the whole.. 'Russia was a peasant backwater that had stagnated under the Tsars before Stalin launched the brutal equivalent of an industrial revolution in the five year plans that pulled the Soviet Union into modernity at huge cost to lives.'

The most difficult thing about reading Fyodor Dostoyevsky is pronouncing his name I think.

I know it is a classic and considered by some to be one of the best novels ever, but I can't continue on when I'm bored to death. I'm not interested in discussions about God so the theme of much of this is not at all interesting to me. Maybe I'll pick it back up someday.
