May I suggest “The Possessed” by Dostoevsky.
A story that intertwines the lives of a groups of elite, effete, social justice warriors who try to bring about “change” in 19th Century Russia.
The characters are very well drawn, and seem to be lifted from today’s Social Media.
Anyway...my opinion.
Will look it up. My daughter was a Russian Lit professor at a liberal university. She wrote and lived in Russia for a while researching Dostoevsky. I think she was coming around to reality in the years before she died at age 36.
Thanks. I’ll add that to my growing pile of must-reads.
