The story under this link (looks like a fiction) contains unexpected historical facts behind Dostoevsky’s novel “Idiot” (”PROTOTYPE OF PRINCE MYSHKIN”):

Salam (means HELLO in persian!)
Thanks for this post, but I’m so sad and angry why didn’t I read that before my short 2008 Summer trip to russia (http://ehsandadvar.blogspot.com/2008/08/once-upon-time-russia.html) ((
I lost this museum plus bad plan for visiting his tomb in St. Petersburg. As U can see, I just visited his last apartment in St. Petersburg.
I know that the chance of these trips isn’t so much, but I’ll remember this post in any time I’ll have the chance of visiting Russia again!
But please tell me what’s the complete address of that? which metro station?
Continue your way!
Cheerio

Despite the fact that everyone keeps correcting your Russian or your English, I can’t believe that you have learned Russian to such extent in just four years! Personally, I find Russian difficult to learn through rules. Just as any language, Russian has its rhythm and rhyme. A child learns grammar by repetition, occasionally corrected by his parents, but not by learning grammar rules. And as much as grammar is stressed in Russian schools, I don’t know many Russians((mostly Russian language teachers ) who can list all six cases by memory, much less explain rules of “spryazhenie” and verbs. Nevertheless, I commend you for trying (and I thank God I never had to learn Russian the hard way. . . )

Your English is very good. However, bear in mind that “capitol” is “kapitoliy” – a building. Moscow is a “stolitsa” – c CAPITAL. The subject
you specialize in college is your MAJOR.”Tayna”
is both a SECRET and a MYSTERY. In the case of the book title you mention MYSTERY is better choice, as you would hardly hear “ya zanimayus’
sekretom”.

Overall your posts are very, very interesting and you stand commanded for doing a great job and a very important one. Keep a hard copy of your posts as it will be a shame to lose them
on a computer.

Al the best,

Excellent post, very interesting.
Have you ever read the series of Dostoevsky biographies by Joseph Frank? They are very informative, as they approach his life in the context of what he was working on at the time.
