What’s the best translation of Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment?

None. And I don't mean this in the usual /lit/ way of "hurrrrr >reading translations", it's just that every book by Hackstoevsky is trash and no translation can salvage it.
If by "best" you mean which is most true to his original vision, then anything but P&V.

7/10 good bait anon, clever and witty, but a bit soft. Try a slower pace, and make sure you leave the cringier parts towards the end, as to maximize the amount of (You)s. Still, it's a fine piece of bait my guy
