Dostoevsky Metro too depressing

Moscow's renowned for its themed metro stations - the molecular designs at Mendeleev or the martial statues at Partizanskaya.

They're building a new stop, named in honor of Dostoevsky. It hasn't opened yet, apparently behind schedule. Why? Well, some are speculating that the murals are too depressing - that riders don't want to see a man raising a gun to his head or Roskolnikov attacking two women with a hatchet. 

According to the Moscow Times, a psychologist "warned that the murals could make the station a popular place to commit suicide."
