Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.
-- Fyodor Dostoevsky (Crime and Punishment)

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1849, #novelist #FyodorDostoevsky was sentenced to death for radical anti-government activities in tsarist #Russia. A cart arrived just in time with a commutation to hard labour in #Siberia. The experience with near-execution later came up in 'The Idiot'.

Greed DOES destroy Art, look what all that AI shit is doing to it right now.

🔴 🇷🇺 📖 **Fyodor fever: how Dostoevsky became a social media sensation**

_“Since about December of last year, White Nights has been all over BookTok and its Instagram parallel, Bookstagram. Searching for the 1848 tale on these platforms will result in page after page of reviews, quotes, and moody shots of the book next to cups of coffee.”_

Fyodor fever: how Dostoevsky became a social media sensation

White Nights, the author’s 1848 novella, sounds an unlikely candidate to go viral, but the story of lovelorn loneliness is now a favourite among TikTok and Instagram users

I hope it comes out they were organ donors.

But at the same time there has been reported denial by prison that this even occurred, or that they had an agreement..

And yet, contract w/university for autopsy related, was discovered.

I'm pro volunteering as organ donor (keyword: voluntary)

But also reminded of this quote:

“The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.”
