Haha! A subtle nod to my boo boo. Touché pussycat.
Crime and Punishment was Dostoyevsky, not Tolstoy. You correctly invoked Tolstoy’s War and Peace.
He too was an amazing writer. I loved War and Peace. The elaborate battle scenes appeal to my inner armchair general and love of military history. I considered it a gift, not a burden or crime worthy of punishment. ;)
Edit: But Dostoyevsky was the master of Russian grief and gloom. Just thinking about him makes me want to go back to Brothers Karamazov and Notes from the Underground.
Oh, haha. The Tolstoy and Crime and Punishment combination tricked my mind. Loved crime and Punishment, probably my favourite book. But yeah, War and Peace was tough for me.

The incompetence of military officers explains a lot, even today.
