The episode dives deep into Fyodor Dostoevsky's 'Crime and Punishment', focusing on the character Raskolnikov and the themes of morality and crime.
"Would not one tiny crime be wiped out by thousands of good deeds?" The Russians are coming...Fyodor Dostoevsky's unique brand of psychological thriller has reached BTMC, and I was delighted to dive deep into the intellectual madness of the deeply flawed main character, Raskolnikov.
