Dostoevsky Meme
Here is a meme of Fyodor Dostoevsky and his lover Polina Suslova that turned the author of a controversial book into the victim of russian hackers.
Eli Gilic wrote a controversial book called “Slaves to Desire” in which she revived famous historical figures, focusing on their adventures in the bedroom. Besides Grigori Rasputin, Van Gogh, Anna Karenina, she depicted the sexual life of Fyodor Dostoevsky. It inspired this meme that almost caused her book to disappear.
Sexual Life of Fyodor Dostoevsky
One of the most common questions about the famous author’s sexual life is: Did Fyodor Dostoevsky have a foot fetish? There are records from his lover Polina Suslova, who documented that Fyodor made strange advances toward her tootsies. However, Eli doesn’t think Dostoevsky had a foot fetish. As a matter of fact, the book shows the famous Russian writer as a man deeply interested in bondage fetishes and the feeling of helplessness in front of a woman.
Polina would tie him to the bed and do with him as she pleased. The reason why Dostoevsky loved that can be found in his college days trauma. Some students tied him to a tree and left him there for hours. It was cold and he had several panic attacks. That is how his perverted inclinations were born.
Russian Hacker Attacks the Author
While the question of whether Eli Gilic’s book insults Russian cultural heritage is debatable, we can, without any doubt, say that one Russian hacker certainly thought so. The Dostoevsky Meme circulating over social media enraged him. The hacker sent her a malicious mail and Eli fell for a fishing trap. She clicked the links she shouldn’t have clicked. He got hold of her Gmail session and withdrew her book from Amazon and other selling platforms. He even left a message about his reasons and told Gilic that Dostoevsky could not be turned into an object of mockery and cheap sexual perversion. Luckily, the author managed to regain access to his mail and reinstate her book on all selling platforms.
