> Anna Karenina: Talks about rural and urban life, faith, and social change in the 19th century

Yes. But does not talk that much about politics. Unless for you the above things somehow count as politics?

> The Idiot: Centers around society's treatment of those perceived as idiots and/or socially inept.

Have you even read it? It's about someone so good that people treat him as an idiot. It's about morality, not politics.

> Crime and Punishment: The entire novel is a critique of nihilism, very much a cultural and political part of Russian society at a time, with thoughts on utilitarianism and rationalism. It's a deep dive into the radicalization of people. It also criticizes Western ideas.

Again, this is philosophy, not politics.

Politics is just applied philosophy. Most topics that are political do not necessarily involve the government. If it political to say "this person is gay", it is ABSOLUTELY political to say "this person is a nihilist and look at all the trouble that causes"
