People in the know are only supposed to like the works of either Tolstoy or Dostoevskiy, but not both.
I haven’t heard that before. Can you give some evidence of that?
I don’t have an opinion poll to point you toward; however, if you ask someone who teaches Russian literature whether there is a split between “Tolstoy people” and “Dostoeyevskiy people,” I expect them to confirm that this is a widespread belief.
