    I don't know what to tell you, I too read the book and had no such issues. I thought it was very clear when they're talking about Raskolnikov or his sister or the inspector or the landlady or anybody, and I don't speak any Russian. You just had to trust things would become clear in time with context.

      You have a point in that the characters are very vivid and distinct/individual

      but I think it's fair to say most people will experience at least mild confusion a few times with the cast of characters
