You can certainly say that you don’t think Russian culture is valuable, or that you just don’t plain like it, and that is certainly understandable given the current circumstances. But that is something very different from saying that it has failed.
And you have clearly not read and understood Dostoyevsky if that is what you got out of Crime and Punishment. Maybe you shouldn’t be that fast to condemn a whole culture if your understanding of it is on the level your last paragraph reveals.

The usual way of framing it and especially russian classical literature in russian schools, like in my case, was that it is the moral guiding light of the nation. As such it has clearly failed. Also, I'm confused by the notion that I have the obligation to you to interpret a work of art just like you to have an opinion on it.
