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?

Greetings to everyone who read my testimony. Using this opportunity to thank the great real spell caster called Dr Ughulu is so exciting to me. I have been looking for a way to cure my HIV Disease but everything seems so wrong with all the herbal remedies I have taken. I was notified on my phone about how Dr. Ughulu cures someone out of herpes Disease. I read all the news that I was notified on the phone so luckily his website was there. That's when I went through it and I saw he is a powerful man so I took advantage and sent him a message to help me cure my HIV Disease. I was very happy when he responded to me and told me the items needed to be able to cure my HIV Disease after I had spent a lot of money in the Hospitals and also with different types of traditional medicine in my country. Dr Ughulu did his best and sent me herbal remedies to cure my HIV Disease. It didn't take up to a month. I was cured from HIV Disease. So when I met my Doctor to do a check up and my doctor told me I am fine now and free from HIV Disease.
