I haven’t yet read Dostoyevsky, though I have read Chekhov and Pushkin in translation. I’m speaking more generally about Garnett’s translations rather than a specific work.
I’m currently learning Russian, and I’m sure it’ll be a while before I can read Dostoyevsky in it’s original form; though I have read some Chekhov and he is an absolute pleasure to read in Russian.

Chekhov and Pushkin are extremely easy to read in russian. Always straight on point, with few distractions, rarely engaging in highbrow ornamental phrases. Good choice when learning a language.
