Д is for Dostoevsky

This letter is equivalent to the English Dd, although before some letters, it is pronounced more like a Tt. (Like with Вв and Гг, this is something to remember for later). Дд in handwriting can vary: it may resemble this: Дд or the small one may be made like the English little "g" in cursive.

Фёдор Михайлович Достоевский/Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821-1881) was one of the great Russian authors of the nineteenth century. He is remembered particularly for his suspenseful, brooding novels, including Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov.
