- 1947, Chicago Review, University of Chicago Press, page 20:
- Today its Dostoievskian perspective, for a variety of reasons, is altogether lacking; it is now a quality exposing its truest expression at picnics, the theatre, and conventions of political parties; that is to say, it is no longer serious excepting as defining the appreciation of an esthetic spectacle.
- 1971, New Letters, page 75:
- Among the former was a wholly invented, Dostoievskian police “reenactment” scene for which I saw no necessity in a script that was already overlong.

- Overall it could be observed that there was a positive evolution, in the sense that if in the first decade Dostoyevsky’s novels were not even published and all exegetical texts were forbidden, in the middle of the period all of Dostoyevsky’s novels were published and towards the end of the communist regime we can note several valuable contributions to Dostoievskian criticism. The interpretative Dostoievskian texts became more and more professional, being approached with more subtle and profound themes, and the translations were increasingly better.
