Tolstoy and Dostoevsky are truly a visiting card of Russian literature for a foreign reader. These two creators have long been admired abroad, their works find new interpretations, and foreign writers are inspired by their skill. "No English novelist can compare in greatness with Tolstoy, who so fully portrayed a person's life from both a private and heroic side. No English novelist has explored the human soul as deeply as Dostoevsky," said the famous writer Edward Forster. American literary critic, professor George Steiner dedicated his famous work to Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, exploring the depths of the similarity of the two geniuses and the chasm of their difference.
