Many left-wing "progressive" writers and critics have accused Dostoyevsky of his opposition to socialism, accusing him of poisoning the people with the opium of religious spirit, preaching to give up resistance and revolution, and preaching patience and obedience. What they especially cannot tolerate is Dostoevsky's nihilistic and self-contradictory worldview, and his pessimistic stance of having no confidence in human beings. What they need and appreciate are "professional revolutionaries who are unyielding and full of perseverance" like Rakhmetov. Revolutionary leader Lenin's fierce criticism: "The worst imitation of the worst Dostoevsky" liquidated the writer from the ideological standpoint of socialist revolution.
