This just in

[Rylkova,Galina S]

I don't want to psychoanalyze Kucherena, but C&P is strangely
fitting in this situation. If anything, C&P teaches that life is
unpredictable (with all its imponderables, etc.), that nothing goes
according to one's original plan (something that here in the US people
tend to forget). I doubt that Snowden envisaged spending a month at the
Sheremetievo airport and a negative reaction that he got at home. In the
Dostoevskian universe, crime (one's ability to commit a crime) is
extremely important. Once you've hit the bottom, you are immediately on
the road to redemption. Something to look forward to in Putin's Russia
:)

probably because he himself (Mr. Kucherena) never read any other
Dostoevsky novels, except the one included in the school program.
