"Victor Hugo is a force, Herzen as well. They have a certain spiritual energy, certain precious demands. Dickens, Dostoevsky Schiller have them too. Dostoevsky is confused, he is not free, he keeps close to the old and to what is "Russian, exceptional". He is chained by the religion of the people.

Victor Hugo is a force, Herzen as well. They have a certain spiritual energy, certain precious demands. Dickens, Dostoevsky Schiller have them too. Dostoevsky is confused, he is not free, he keeps close to the old and to what is "Russian, exceptional". He is chained by the religion of the people.
""Victor Hugo este o forța, Herzen la fel. Au o anume energie spirituală, anume exigențe prețioase. Dickens, Dostoievsky Schiller le au și ei. Dostoievski e confuz, nu e liber, se ține aproape de datină și de ceea ce este „rusesc, exceptional“. E înlănțuit de religia poporului."
