5 > 0. Not an illusion.

Russia is known for using Russification as a method of oppression and genocide [1]. Dostoyevsky’s views are also pretty well known and their existence is not a matter of partisan opinion. If you are talking about Dostoyevsky, you are talking about core beliefs of russian fascist thought [2].
