Dostoevskaya metro station is named after the author Fyodor Dostoevsky who was born in a hospital close to the metro. It was opened in 2010. Unsurprisingly the theme of this new station is the works of Dostoevsky and the walls are decorated with scenes from 'Crime and Punishment', 'The Idiot', 'Demons' and 'The Brother Karamazov' as well as of the author himself. However Doestoevsky is not known for light-hearted subjects and some people have criticised the mosaics which depict murder and suicide as being too violent and gloomy for a metro station.
