Yeah, it's a bit of a conundrum. It was common that the regular folk would get repressed and tortured needlessly in the Imperialist Russia, given the entire incarceration and mock execution that Dostoevsky went through. People were accustomed to those in power abusing their authority and trampling on ordinary citizens. They believed their hands were tied and that nothing could be done about it. Learned helplessness. In this way, Russians have a lot in common with the Chinese. No one went full "14/88 gas the jews final solution now" back then, but it's less because of the false teachings and boomerisms, but mostly because he and his peers saw the jews as these poor, rustic, kindred spirits who tried to cruise through many hardships life keeps throwing at them, yet they were befuddled by their vile attitude towards the non-chosenites. Again, it's probably due to the lack of information and connection between the jews and their satanic roots, which was wholly undiscovered at the time for the average, clueless person. To put it into perspective, many Soviet citizens visited synagogues, but not to worship. They went there to get a free meal during their many jewish holidays. lol. As for recommended reading, I'm not sure any of those are available on English, a lot of it are just various articles and ramblings of random people on forums trying to piece it together. Reading more classic works could give a bit more of an insight into the mentality, perhaps.
