Mix it up. Read a short story from Tolstoy then one from Dosto

I'd start with Hajdi Murat from Tolstoy then A Dream of a Ridiculous man (constance translation) from Dosto

I was in your shoes a few weeks ago. Started with Crime & Punishment by FD. Trust me, do this. Finish the book and depending what you liked about it, go off from there.

The French actually translated Russian literature before Constance Garnett got around to it. A lot of the earliest translations of the Russkis were by the French. You would be surprised how many Russian novels were translated into English based on the French translations. If you're French, just read it in French.
