My feelings about him are complicated :) In school, I have to admit, I never fully managed to get through "Crime and Punishment" (but I honestly tried). Almost immediately afterward, I made another attempt and started reading "The Adolescent," but I gave up again. I watched modern adaptations of "The Idiot" and "Crime and Punishment." The first one I really liked, largely because of the brilliant cast. The second one... again, it didn't resonate with me. I'm still puzzled as to why I can't connect with this work.
In university, I read "Notes from Underground" about the "difficult" thoughts and the existence of the Russian intelligentsia. It's interesting; much of it is still typical for them today. This, by the way, is what makes his work so appealing. Dostoevsky's philosophy remains relevant; the "Russian idea" is periodically actively discussed (especially when it's convenient). Right now, it seems like there's no interest in it... another shift towards the West.

P.S. I've been planning to read "The Brothers Karamazov" for a long time, but I just haven't gotten around to it. Thanks to the author; I've noted it down.
