Nabokov didnt like Dostoyevsky either, especially Karamazov https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/23/magazine/nabokov-on-dosto...

His criticism of characters being laid bare at the beginning of the novel is fair, especially in Karamazov. Unlike Nabokov I don't think it detracts from the work.
He was a noted hater of many great authors and works so naming one target of his doesn’t carry much weight
It's true, but he was such a good hater that one has to love him for it.
