Dostoevsky
cultural
Fyodor Dostoevsky is cited in Russian-language media primarily in cultural and political contexts. Iranian officials have referenced his work, particularly 'The Brothers Karamazov', to criticize U.S. foreign policy, accusing it of 'extreme dependence on lies' and quoting a passage from the novel. Public events such as 'Dostoevsky Days' are held in cities like St. Petersburg and Gatchina, featuring literary walks, debates, artistic installations, and cultural performances.
