Nabokov, besides the fact that he was a pedophile pervert, he even went on to criticize Dostoevsky for being antisemitic. Sure, I agree with the fact that he is overcrowding his books with nihilists and degenerates, as Tolstoy also argued, but that doesn't mean he was into any sadomasochistic ideas. Dostoevsky was a humanist and an empath who deeply suffered after his time in Siberia, and he was very concerned with the modern human condition. That is why he wrote so much about depression, suffering and nihilism, because it reflected the condition of the modern intellectual such as he was. If you think Nabokov had a point in anything, you're an idiot.
