Can you recommend any works of literature—preferably fiction—with reactionary themes? I'm thinking, for example, of the works of D.H. Lawrence, with their reproach of modernity. The works need not be wholly reactionary, so long as they embrace at least one attendant theme.

How retarded do you have to be to think Dostoevsky didn't devote a lot of effort into telling us how modern ideas are shit and how we should all go back to orthodoxy?

I don't think Dostoevsky was trying to promote any political agenda, or trying to preach silly, reductive theories, no.

he's widely considered slavophil
Later writers Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Konstantin Leontyev, and Nikolay Danilevsky developed a peculiar conservative version of Slavophilism called pochvennichestvo (from the Russian word for soil). This teaching, as articulated by Konstantin Pobedonostsev (Ober-Procurator of the Russian Orthodox Church), was adopted as the official Tsarist ideology during the reigns of Alexander III and Nicholas II.

He was, although the fact that you see them as reductive is your thing, I think he was right about it.

Did you even read him?
He is a monarchist, a pious orthodox Christian, wrote against modern ideas such as liberalism, was a slavophile, wrote a whole novel devoted to proving how bad communism is and another one about how atheism will lead to destruction of morality.
He is the most famous conservative writer that I know of.

I agree with you about all that you wrote, but where did you see that he's monarchist ?

It's not seen in the novels themselves clearly, it's his other personal statements and beliefs.
For example, he didn't think a communist revolution could happen because a Russian could never go against the Car.
