What's the most accurate way to spell Dostoevsky? I know that is an accepted English spelling, but what would Russians want us spelling his name like?
I've seen.
Dostoevsky
Dostoyevsky
Dostoevski(i)
Dostoyevski(i)
Dostoejewski(i)
And so on.

At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.
To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

Doesn't it depend on how it's romanized?Fedor Emelianenko's name in russian can also be Fyodor.
UFC fan?
No. Thats wrong.
Фёдор is how it's written on Russian. 2nd letter is on west very often pronounced like e, what is wrong. e with two dots on it is pronounced like yo. Why do they left dots out, I don' know.
So it's Fyodor, not Fedor. And it's not Emelianenko, it's Yemelianenko.

Dostoevsky is the correct spelling, however my American edition reads Dostoyevsky, and that's how i tend to spell it.
I'm losing all those stupid games
That I swore I'd never play
I always feel uneasy when it comes to spelling Russian names since I am not used to them.
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
