More telling of Nabokov's opposition to Capital
Punishment, no matter what is written in Dar, can be
found in 'Invitation to a Beheading.' The entire work
condemns such punishment, as, I believe, Nabokov
mentions in a letter to some politician. The large
amount of political views mentioned in the past few
days seem to have strayed from the topic.
The current president can not get a firm grasp of
Russian culture from reading Dostoevski, as he would
also be unable to do so by reading any Russian author,
past or present.
