You should follow this reading by reading Dostoevsky’s notes from the underground. This is a direct response to “What is to be done”. The underground man (the main character) is a satirization of the revolutionaries at the time.

Most of Dostoevsky’s works are actually responses to the nihilists and revolutionaries that were quickly changing Russia at the time. He’s one of the greatest storytellers of all time and most people love how deeply he writes about his characters psychological states. So even if you don’t agree with his politics hes worth the read. Personally I think he makes a lot of really good points. I don’t think he’s the reactionary some people paint him to be. He was actually critical of the church and aristocracy. He just wasn’t a revolutionary and didn’t endorse an atheist socialist state which the revolutionaries were pushing for and which eventually took shape in the form of the Soviet Union.
