Funny how translations of Dostoyevsky is a contentious topic in English-speaking world. In ru-speaking world, we bicker about Harry Potter and Lord of Rings translations :) There’s a particularly inflammatory translation of HP which causes people to swear that they won’t let their children read it.

In French he's called "Londubat", which phonetically means "long FROM the bottom", which is arguably even worse than the English name.
