I can speak Russian because I was raised in a Russian speaking house but I can't read the alphabet and my vocabulary is pretty limited
Will I ever be able to read Dostoevsky in Russian? Or do I have to stick to translations
just practice the language with more focus on the alphabet with reading.
Why try? Just give up, now.

Alphabets are easy and since you have an inherent knowledge of the grammar you should be able to skip through the books with ease so long as you keep a thesaurus about. Really, half an hour at most to get to grip with the alphabet and a dictionary whilst you read. You might be a bit slow at first but you'll be fine.

oblomov pls
You can learn the alphabet in less than a week. After that read some children's literature to get the hang of it. Then read YA or novels with simple vocabulary. Read the classics when you feel like it.

Everything
Since a translation doesn't use the author's own words a translation is nothing more than an imitation.
Fuck you, OP. You've already got like 80% down of the work of learning a language already. The rest of us aren't so fucking lucky. You owe it to us to learn to read Russian, you privileged fuck.
