“Give me a better ideal. But meanwhile, I will not take a hen-house for a mansion”-Fyodor Dostoevsky

I look everywhere online for anyone who understands even just this book. How are you people not bored as all hell reading & not inderstanding his constant symbolism? The symbolism leads the story, not the actual story. The prison represents the result of the Russian invasion by Prussia and the fake Tsar. It makes contstant reference to this civil war that’s been erased, yet there’s a town after this so called rebels name and they still honor him & sing his songs, yet he’s classified as a terrorists when he was rhe True King.

Catherine is a whore & he makes it well known his opinions. This whole book, all his books, reference this in one way or the other. Pertersberg is the West Built Capital that existed at the same time as the Moscow capital did when Napoleon came. The headquaters & all the “rulers” were in Petersberg. So why did Napoleon go to Moscow? Look at his references to Prussia, the TarTar, the German, the Gentleman, etc. Firstly, the Prussians were the great seller of great weapons. And German. Today Prussia is destroyed, not because of defeat, but because your ignorance to history is mich encouraged.

I dont deny Fydor’s a Christian phylosopuing either, but all of you miss most his real points and interpret it with amazingly shallow superficial depth, it makes me wonder why youre entertained with it then? “Oh he makes characters that represent Christian life in this way, etc” Thats so boring. Thats not what he is. He was almost shot, sent to the gullahs for 4 years, then forced military service for years because of what he’s doing even in this book.

He is calling out the current givernment for wicked war crimes, destruction of peoples, history, & genocide. He reveals so much history that has been covered up to the American as well. This is why there’s a special interest in oreventing the absolute friendly union with Russian and American. Because by it, Americans would realize nuclear weapons existed & were used in the 1800s.

Theyd realize all they believe is a lie concerning their identity. Theyd finally realize the true conspiracy & how the world works. There’s no place youll find it more than his books. Thats why special interest is taken to interpret these books for you, before you ever read them. I use to wonder who was the better man morally, Fyodor or Tolstoy. Absolutely Fyodor. I’m surprised he lived as long as he did. He was knowingly risking his life, his whole life. Tolstoy didnt have the same courage to plainly state the Truth he knew.

He just tries to look to the future to do good, & only makes tiny reference. But can’t you people see the obvious? The guilt? This guilt is more than two classes. Their guilt is not white guilt. Not something from some generation not of them. No. They were a part of it. They were the enslavers, & benefactors, right before theyre eyes they saw destructions & genocide. Not against them, but them stealing an Empire & pretending to be the real rulers.

If one studies history, they’ll understand. What I dont understand, is how people can stand reading what they dont understand. Only maybe some russians understand his books.

In 1849 Dostoevsky and fellow members of an underground group were arrested and sentenced to death. It was only after they stood in front of the firing squad that they learned the sentence had been commuted to hard labor in Siberia. “The physical and mental trauma of this near execution would never leave Dostoevsky” (Stone, 51). His four-year imprisonment in a maximum-security prison in Omsk became the basis for this semi-autobiographical work, titled in Russian, Zapiski iz mertvogo doma (The House of the Dead). Written after his release from prison, The House of the Dead was “The first novel about Russian prisons in Siberia… [it] bore witness, for the first time to the civilized world, to all the suffering of Russian prisoners” (Sekirin, Dostoevsky Archive, 109-110). Dostoevsky describes here, through a fictional narrative, the details of his own life in Siberia and that of the prisoners incarcerated with him (more often than not using their real names).

“The House of the Dead was the work that had the greatest success—the story of the country’s most heinous criminals written by a newly released prisoner. The work had direct relevance to the current debate on necessary reforms in the Russian legal and penal systems, and its message that there was no greater agony for man than to be deprived of his freedom could not help but attract attention in a period of liberalization. But what guaranteed the work immortality was the extraordinary artistry in the writing. ‘One saw in the author a new Dante who had descended into the inferno,’ one contemporary critic recalled, ‘and this inferno was made all the worse by the fact that it existed not only in the writer’s imagination but also in reality… Tolstoy considered The House of the Dead ‘the finest work in all of modern Russian literature” (Kjetsaa, Fyodor Dostoevsky: A Writer’s Life, 136, 366). The first appearance of any of the text in print was in Ruskii Mir#67, September 1860; the complete text was first published in the review Vremya (which Dostoevsky edited and published with his brother from 1861-63) in April, September November 1861 and January March, May, December 1862, with a first edition in book form appearing in.

(Cheapest you’ll find this anywhere, if at all. I’ve checked. It’s near impossible to find this FIRST english translation in print anymore, not because translations are ever-improving due to the best & brightest we’ve ever had, but because the copyright laws Tyndale knowingly broke at the expense of his life are the very same limiting your options to only ever degenerating English renderings of the original. But lucky for you, my outrage motivates me as much as my love; our love that is, for these desperate academics who not only insist on their rights to other’s property, but are demonically compelled to defile anything their soft disgusting hands touch; for they’re not satisfied lest that undefiled pure thing of which they’ve touched, bare their mark; thus guaranteeing that even the “reprints” are sure to be poisoned with their leaven. “Additional edits” as if nobody can understand English without their added ‘Lol” acronyms & forwards & opinions nobody wants to read anymore than we’ve ever wanted to smell their nasty farts they’re always so fond of. Eww. This is my mark. There will be nothing of my own in this book.)

P.S. This man is the O.G. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. The first great in Russia to go to war against evil with the stroke of a pen; One stroke being said to kill at least 30,000 vermin. His enslavement was still a picnic compared to Solzhenitsyn’s time, that system that he himself credits Lenin with setting up. Lenin, who’s NOT A JEW, though his wife & kids were Jews & they all spoke Yiddish & hung out in the very same Synagogues that Viva la Apollo passed over; the very same marked with peasant blood above the doors, which synagogues escaped the fait of their Christian neighbors… BUT HE’s NOT a JEW. Trotsky, the cabinet President of Bolshevism along over 80% of Bolsheviks all being Jews… That doesn’t make it a Jewish movement you anti-semite. It doesn’t matter who funded it, nor how many Rabbi’s from Brooklyn, NY came out to the slaughter fest in person.

And who cares if Zelenskyy is a Jew as well who holds the cabinet of “president”? What do you mean to suggest about his slaughter of the Christians of Ukraine? So what if he & Benjamin are paid more than any on earth to rape & murder Abel in the fields? So what if little Zelenskyy is always dressed in full Sith black, as a crow in constant attendance of funeral? A literal faggot you can find on youtube dancing like a whore for money in black leather & high heels… that’s not a joke. But we’ll all have a laugh nonetheless, that is, until it happens to us, & we yell out, & nobody is there.

Fyodor was a man of sorrows, no doubt, that why he’s so damn funny! His mom died when he was a lad, consequently his dad couldn’t bear raising them, siblings split apart, bouncing from Aunt to Aunt. Sound familiar? The Brothers story. He is always inserting reality into his writings. They’re all motivated by nothing more than a means to express the Truth. If one really reads him, oh not just him, but many author’s of the 1800’s, including Lincoln, you’ll see that they’re telling us something. What? The Same Thing! O’er and O’er. What?! !812! 1812! What’d you say Mark Twain? Do you say G. Washington never existed, nor the Declaration of Independence before 1812 as a joke? 1812! 1812! BOOOM, goes D.C., NYC, Moscow, Petersburg. What?!? “I’m Melting!!! Why is my hair, skin, & eyes all falling out!” idk. I’ll show you soon.

Anyways, just like all us miserable experiments of the cruel, Fyrodor just couldn’t catch a break. Death after death of loved ones in his life, always broke. Worst of luck. And never did he wallow like a victim, but like a mad man, laughed at it all, as the most sane of men do. I find He & Tolstoy so fascinating to contrast. They’re both just as sincere, & reach the same conclusions on God for the most part. Where they differ is where they began in life, & that DOSTOEVSKY’S so damn funny! Tolstoy, Count Tolstoy of the lineage of Russian Royalty who never had much to complain about in the way of life, including his physical health, But is nonetheless fascinatingly brilliant & fearless as well. These are two prophets who’s light is only beginning to shine from the East. I do know this with all my heart. I see it as God’s divine providence that He brought two from opposite extremes, so that we may see things for what they are, so that prophecies Erasmus foretold of Russia in the 1500’s may be fulfilled; so that all may see the common enemy, & that we’re all the same.

That life is a disappointment to all, which is the point of life. Let go, die, & be free. Die, and be free. Be a fool and fly. Be a fool and die. Or be a Coward and die. There is no other option.
