Just wanted to follow up and mention that I watched this series and thought it was well done. I recommend it. The only question I had is whether Dostoevsky's personal beliefs and Christian faith as reflected by some of his comments in the film series were verifiable. I haven't read his Writers Diary or some other works to know if the perspective in the film is accurate, but I had thought there were always some shades of doubt in his admiration for Christ and Christianity. Nevertheless, it's worth the watch.


"Khotinenko's classic film based on the unconventional life of the mysterious and tragic Russian writer Dostoevsky is a study in contrast. Disdained by authorities, he had the grace of a sovereign. Both loving and jealous, rejoicing and suffering, Dostoevsky the man was a living, breathing paradox."

I would be interested to hear anyone else's feedback.
Hopefully I will have time to watch some episodes soon.
