I started reading Crime and Punishment about 12 years ago when I was in highschool. I had to return the book without reading it because I was already graduating. I started it over again on a whim, 6 years later, when I was 23, by pure coincidence exactly the same age as the main character, Rodion. I had to stop because I was going through an extremely dark time in my life where I was living in squalor and misery reminiscent of the novel, as well as finding Rodion, his solitude, depression, and feverish thoughts disturbingly relatable. I only started learning Russian a little over 2 years ago, when I was bored, sitting in my new bedroom, in isolation, waiting to either die in the house I had just purchased days prior to falling ill from covid, after years of hard work and painful, tumultuous struggle, or recover and carry on toiling most of my days at work just to survive. A year into studying Russian, I got the idea to buy a copy of Crime and Punishment to read on my downtime at work. I finally finished it last year, after 12 years of starting, and I have to say it is deeply moving, even translated into English. The spiritual transformation of Rodion is one I felt I've experienced over the years. As grim of a novel as it is, I recommend it to anyone, as it will provoke much needed introspection, as well as an appreciation for the human experience, both the good and the bad. I've only read a hundred pages into The Brothers Karamazov, but so far, I'm finding consistency in the quality of Dostoevsky's work.

It was the first book I ever read by him and I must say it's one of my favorites I'm trying to read it in Russian rn actually (I've read it many times, it's my comfort book, I know its lines by heart so it helps) Classic Russian literature is beautiful

Достоевский - хорошо раскрученный бренд. На мой взгляд, он был сфокусирован именно на коммерческом успехе своих произведений. Он стал для русских как Дарвин или Диккенс для англичан. Немного тошнит от него, насколько он конъюнктурный (желтый), его жажда денег отвратительна, но между тем, он брал на себя роль именно того, кто всё проговорит вслух и запишет на бумаге и издаст. Тем самым, как бы, переворачивая страничку в развитии общества. Казалось, что следующая страничка будет более гуманная, ласковая, любящая. Так ведь нет, началась эпоха большевизма...

Let's = давай. Go = отправимся/пойдём. Oftentimes in speech we omit the word давай and simply say пойдём, for example: Пойдём гулять - let's go for a walk. The form of the word пойдём already implies that you're suggesting doing an activity together. As for карта vs карту, it has to do with the system of cases in Russian. Карта is nominative case, meaning it's a subject in a sentence, for example: Карта лежит на столе - The map is on the table. Карту - accusative case, therefore it's an object in a sentence: Я взял карту со стола - I took the map from the table. Note: I mention only one meaning of the word карта here (map), but it can also mean "credit/debit card" or "playing card"

@bokudake1101 3 ай бұрын

I'm not a language teacher but I'll try to explain. отправиться: to depart отправиться в путешествие: "to go on a trip" is a set expression пойдём is the 1st plural imperative (and also the future) tense of the verb пойти likewise you can place some other verbs in that tense: споём, сходим, сбегаем, сыграем... the difference between пойдём and давай пойдём etc. is kinda subtle and I'm not sure how to explain, maybe adding давай makes it less imperative (давай) пойдём ..., (давай) споём ..., ... could be translated as let's go ..., let's sing ... (давай) пойдём ...?, (давай) споём ...?, ... with a question intonation is something like: shall we go ...? shall we sing ...? so давай отправимся literally means something like "let's depart..."

We normally use this phrase to refer to a natural phenomenon that occurs in northern regions, when the sun doesn't set at night or does so for a short period of time before rising again, making the night bright as day. Saint Petersburg is famous for having this occur in a period from May to somewhere mid-June, if I remember correctly.

“I want to say to you, about myself, that I am a child of this age, a child of unfaith and scepticism, and probably (indeed I know it) shall remain so to the end of my life. How dreadfully has it tormented me (and torments me even now) this longing for faith, which is all the stronger for the proofs I have against it. And yet God gives me sometimes moments of perfectpeace; in such moments I love and believe that I am loved; in such moments I have formulated my creed, wherein all is clear and holy to me. This creed is extremely simple; here it is: I believe that there is nothing lovelier, deeper, more sympathetic, more rational, more manly, and more perfect than the Saviour; I say to myself with jealous love that not only is there no one else like Him, but that there could be no one. I would even say more: If anyone could prove to me that Christ is outside the truth, and if the truth really did exclude Christ, I should prefer to stay with Christ and not with truth.” -Dostoyevsky
