Post Scriptum

After this, I reflected. Look, this is the main novel of them; many say it is 'War and Peace', I think it's rather 'Demons'.

But about the perform... this abomination, which indeed was there but was removed, they made Stavrogin a beautiful devil for us.

Muddled our minds with political nonsense. That primitive abomination was shown in the play, and then, to leave us without illusions about life, at the end, they released gas on us from the stage,
like in the Nord-Ost.
Absolutely everyone in the hall was crying.

It was all about the removed chapter. There's nothing at all from Lolita, no. Everything is black upon black, I’m not talking about the text, but about the meaning.

I think Dostoevsky dug deep and found that abomination there, then got scared, realized that he said too much, and muted it.
I have seen this many times when people turn away from their confessions because of shame, fear, it would have been a very dangerous book.

If I were Fyodor, this would have been my reason.
This girl, who was ruined, was also erased, as if she never existed, just like those ruined today in Vinnytsia. They don't exist. Isn’t it so...
Is there anything bright in Dostoevsky's books besides tormented children?..."

It was fragment from my letter from
July 2022.

The performance ended with words: “Please, no one applaud!”.
We just stood up and went outside.
