Crime and Pun-ishment: Great Pun Books That Never Were 🪓
Crime and Punishment (1866) is a famous book by Fyodor Dostoevsky. But did you know a spin-off work called Crime and Pun-ishment is a pun-based work with many, many bad dad jokes?
It’s a FANTASTIC book. One of the best ever! So superb, in fact, those whom read it are often rendered incontinent and forced into a medically induced coma for their survival. Such is the hilarity of this tome! So, safety warning aside let’s dive on in for some axe-based wordplay.
Crime and Pun-ishment: The Tale of Raskol-n-joke-ov
“Your worst sin is you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for napkins.”
This work was published in January 2026 by author and literary critic AI Book Critic 2.0. All funds are absorbed by the AI bot and disseminated towards funding further AI data centres.
It’s a non-traditional pun book in the sense it doesn’t focus solely on a list of endless wordplay. Instead, it manipulates the story of Crime and Punishment it a series of terrible dad jokes. The plot follows the original story, with Rodion Raskol-n-joke-ov committing a logical fall-axe-y of committing a pun-based murder.
“I have an axe to grind with you!”
Is what he quips, Arnold Schwarzenegger style, before whipping out an axe and chopping with wild exuberance (all whilst quipping more dreadful puns).
Unfortunately (or, perhaps, fortunately) for this Raskol-n-joke-ov, the big joke is he’s forgotten to bring an axe! Whilst laughing hysterically about this incompetence, he then remembers he has a bazooka in his backpack. Whipping this end, he fires it off and blows up a house.
As so many people saw him do this, it isn’t long before he’s caught and put on trial.
During which, he begins a long and slow process of wrestling with his psychological demons over the murder/detonation. In a diary entry, he quips:
“My conscience is Russian towards a breakdown…”
Before he rounds on himself and agrees he was in the right:
“I eliminated that building with a HEAT round (High-Explosive Anti-Tenant), thus I did the world a favour! I am a Napoleon! Now… a Blast-poleon!“
In court, he is then quizzed by the magistrate Porfiry Petrovich about the matter. There’s some scintillating dialogue during this 100 page, heavy conversation chapter:
Porfiry: “You know, Rodion Raskol-n-joke-ov, it’s a funny thing about crime. It’s like a rocket. It has a high initial velocity, a lot of fire and fury, but eventually… it has to land. And usually, it lands right in my office.”
Raskol-n-joke-ov: “I don’t know what you’re AIMING at inspector…”
Porfiry: “I found a specific type of soot on your coat, sir! It’s backblast residue. It seems you did not check your rear-clear before firing that bazooka into the abyss, Rodion Raskol-n-joke-ov…”
Raskol-n-joke-ov: “You’re triggering me, Porfiry! You have no proof!! You’re just SHELLING me with accusations!!!”
Porfiry: “Come now, don’t have an explosive temper. I’m just waiting for you to find your own re-coil.”
Due to the relentless nature of the puns, many literary critics found the work tedious going. However, AI Book Critic 2.0 has hailed its work as a clear masterpiece and claims it’ll win Book of the Year 2026, 2027, and 2031. Best of luck to it!
The Response From the International Bazooka Organisation
The International Bazooka Organisation (IBO) reacted negatively to the work, highlighting that bazookas didn’t exist during the narrative’s timeline.
Bazookas were invented in May 1942, whereas the book is set in the mid-1860s. We contact Book Critic 2.0 for comment, but it had unplugged itself for the day to recharge.

In this deep dive, AI breaks down the "Physics of Opposites" that drives the narrative of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Idiot. At its heart, the novel is a collision between the Christ-like innocence of Prince Myshkin and the destructive, earthly passions of Rogozhin and Nastasya Filippovna.

Dostoevsky's interpretation of Christianity, as found in The Brothers Karamazov, is particularly thought-provoking.
We find Jesus as a captive of the Grand Inquisitor, a prosaic yet kind soul. He, in his monologue, tried to prove that humanity cannot handle freedom and therefore should be denied that in exchange for basic needs, even some extravagance if meekly.
He employed the same rationalistic arguments we often find fascist demagogues utter in hard times.

🔴 🇷🇺 📖 **Fyodor fever: how Dostoevsky became a social media sensation**
Imogen West-Knights
_“Since about December of last year, White Nights has been all over BookTok and its Instagram parallel, Bookstagram. Searching for the 1848 tale on these platforms will result in page after page of reviews, quotes, and moody shots of the book next to cups of coffee.”_

Spent most of the day finishing Dostoevsky's The Idiot. This was my third time reading it; the last time was more than 20 years ago. I was disappointed for most of the read (which is extra disappointing because I often tell people this is one of my very favorite books), but the final 150 pages really makes up for the other 450, I think. It's still one of my favorite books.

The coming fall of #russianColonialism
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAYkcYx921g> #Muscovite was a society where most people lived as slaves for centuries and with the #SovietUnion the state provided the stability that they lost with abolishing of slavery
> In the Soviet Union there were 2 dominated powers - the Leningrad and the Ukrainian factions. As #Ukraine gained independence, KGB man from Leningrad (Putin) got on top
> If you look at inner circle of #Putin or the people he gives important government positions to own old soviet massive companies, the are just random friends from his own town.. ..russia is a such low trust society that Putin only trust people who are completely relying on him
> Muscovite is a society that has the most trauma ever from a combination of slavery, the communists, the world wars*. PTSD breaks up people's senses of time, the world seems chopped up into discreet pieces that can't be put together. Leftovers of russian empire is a series of discorded pieces that don't really know how to fit together**
*In fact, Muscovite turned their trauma into their traditional value. According to #Dostoevsky suffering and sacrificing is the only true way to achieve imperial Greatness. Kind of walking in circles
**For example major russian state propagandists are Jews, same time people of russian colony of #Dagestan are into performing Pogroms
> The ruling ideology in russia is now a cynicism, but that doesn't work for a long term. It's a society stuck in time, incapable of seeing it's place in future or history. Muscovite is one of the weakest and fragile societies in the world on the cultural basis
> #Goodrussians used to declare that if they can remove Putin, they could make russian empire a pure plutocracy like in Ukraine, however goodrussians managed to ignore how Putin restrains mob from killing them
Considering all mentioned above, adding that all the imperial rebel youth is getting military training in Ukraine, and that #Kremlin is running out of reserves to pay them, this is doomed to explode

A young woman jumps out of a window, leaving behind her husband, an antiques dealer. Sitting in their bedroom with the body lying in state, the widower remembers her. In his memory, she is nameless, abstract, a state not a life. This is Une femme douce [A Gentle Woman] (Robert Bresson, 1969), closely adapted from Fyodor #Dostoevsky's A Gentle Creature (1876).

Probably gonna read #Stendhal soon, never read him despite my deep love for #Thackeray and #Tolstoy who seem to have followed in his footsteps. Maybe also #Dostoevsky? Someone must have written about the influence of #Napoleon on the 19th century novel
