I would like to say "The Brothers Karamazov" and "War and Peace" contained fewer Russian names.

I read Crime and Punishment for the 1st time since doing so reluctantly in high school 3 years ago. It was one of those required books that I had problems getting through. As a mature adult it worked better. It is one of 3 novels that I had trouble reading completely through in H.S.. The others are Moby Dick and Don Quixote. I have tried to read through those 3 times without success.

There was a great article in TPM, linking to an article in NYT, There was conspiracy by the Russians - Mueller proved it.
Unfortunately the narrative has been set by Barr summary letter and the MSM continues to parrot that interpretation.
Bill Maher has a great segment on Mueller from last night - Crime and No punishment.

(14,570 posts)He quipped that if Dostoyevski had written the Mueller Report it would be called 'Crime and No Punishment.'
It got a laugh, but I'm not laughing. Because that isn't funny. Mueller is remiss because he passed the buck to a Congress he KNEW was dysfunctional; he KNEW the Republicans in the Senate have become the party of Trump and would never remove Trump if the House impeaches him; Mueller KNEW that today's Republicans in both House and Senate have totally put party over country.
Mitch McConnell and the others don't give a shit about this country, and for Mueller to think they somehow would 'turn around' in the face of his massive report, well, that just didn't happen.
I think Maher was right and Mueller was wrong not to break with precedent and indict Trump.
