Fyodor Dostoyevsky or Leo Tolstoy: Who is the greatest Russian novelist?
Source: Composite by G_marius based on public domain images.
Russian literature is extremely rich. We debate who was the greatest Russian novelist of all times: Fyodor Dostoyevsky or Leo Tolstoy. Vote and discuss.
They are two giants of world literature. Fyodor Dostoyevsky ( 1821 – 1881) and Leo Tolstoy (1828 – 1910) regularly top the polls of most influential novelists. Literature experts have extensively debated about who was the greatest Russian novelist. Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy were famously prolific and share a deep concern with the human condition. However, their writing style and portrayals of 19th century Russian society could not be more different. Tolstoy's earlier interest in the role of man in history later made way for an increasingly moralising tone, whereas Dostoevsky's moving depictions of poverty and despair have been described as hysteric and overly theatrical by some. Which of the two gets your vote: the author of "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina", or the mind that created "Crime And Punishment" and "The Brothers Karamazov"? Do you think there is another Russian writer who could challenge these two to top the list?

I want to thank Dr Ughulu for what he has done for me, it has been 1 year and 4 months I have being suffering from HIV disease all because I cheated on my husband I had this HIV disease through the man I had sex with when I was cheating behind my husband, so after I have been suffering from the HIV disease I have spent a lot of money in the hospital just to get a cure and nothing work out for me, one day I was searching something online that I saw a comment about how someone testify Dr Ughulu , so when I saw it and I read it I was afraid to message him but I make up my mind and I sent him a message I explain everything to him, he told me what to do that can cure my HIV disease so I did exactly what he said, it didn't take up to 2 weeks my HIV disease was totally cured. Then I went for a checkup. The doctor told me I no longer have HIV disease in my body anymore. That was the beginning of my happiness. Thank you so much Dr Ughulu for all you have done for me.
