No,not complete.I know that Lubov Dostoevsky had a very bad temper, which is why she even moved away from her mother and began to live separatelly and never married.It is considered that Dostoevsky's funeral had a large impact on her and developed her character.People who met her say that she was very proud of herself and always tried to be the first one everywhere(they said the same about her brother actually).

She moved out of Russia, while her father was a nationalistic writer, and while he even accused Turgenev of betraying Russia in a way by moving to Europe?  That must mean she hadn't even read her fathers works, or just didn't get it all .....

... and what kind of occupation did she have?  Probably a teacher...

Actually she moved out to improve her health but then decided not to come back.At that time WW1 started and I think she might have had problems with getting back to Russia,even if she wanted to.She published some short stories but critics said that they were of poor quality and she also published her memoirs in German.Although,as investigators of Dosotevsky's life said later,they contained a lot of factual mistakes but they are still quite valuable.

Good question.I dont know actually.I think she lived off from what she published and maybe from family money.

Maybe she earned a living by typing books.Her memoirs were written in German apparently.

Parts of them.The parts where she comments on Dostoevsky's description of the town  where TBK take place.She links the description of the town to real places in Staraya Russa

It was written in the appendix of my Dostoevsky's books.There are long Russian appendixes in them,where they give quotes of famous people on Dostoevsky and parts of Lubov's memoirs.
