of which Herzen is the least read here (My Past Thoughts)
t. general reader

>>14736240
Native Russian speaker here, I’ve read all of them except for Danilevsky, Leontyev, Melnikov-Pechersky, Voloshin, Shmelev and Elizarov. Most of those writers are extremely overrated and for some reason monolingual Americlaps tend to think that they are more profound than really are.

>>14736549
>Most of those writers are extremely overrated
Explain why do you think so

>>14736240
>Solzhenitsyn

>>14736589
The gals are nude; why so?

>>14736240
Your list is missing Arkonakov, Kolyenevskiy, Davidavitchakovsky, Fyodrevsakoskavitchsky and Anna Ivanovna Ilyanevskayanova.

>>14736602
it's hot

>>14736651
there are real russian authors with weird enough names that you don't have to make any up dude, e.g krzhizhanovsky

>>14736549
an occasionally oddity of translated literature is when the translations actually improve the work. those like pushkin or lermontov are extremely talented and use their language to the benefit of their work, but not everyone can.
hot take: dostoy is very overrated.

>>14736259
if you haven't read them then how would you know?

>>14736240
>Galkovsky
Yikes!

>>14736602
To trigger the femoids, obviously.

>>14736240
pleb tier list, no Khodasevich or Yesenin for starters

>>14736879
shut up kitty

>>14736240
Great list. What's your excuse for omitting Mayakovsky and Kharms? Was it because you're a Hitlerite wrecker and very much want to go to gulag?

>>14736589
females should always be depicted naked imo

>>14736240
Also you missed Shalamov, who is far darker than Solzhenitsyn.

>>14736240
Among others, you're also missing Grossman and the Strugatskys.

>>14737001
Because they are something at the level of Murakami or Coelho for the Russian public. There are too many of them on the Internet.

vk com/xapms
vk com/vmayakovsky

>>14736879
Yesenin is a little specific, but yes. He should be included.

>>14737012
I agree.

>>14737160
The Strugatsky brothers - yes.

>>14736879
Klyuev better than Esenin
>>14737001
This two overrated. Khlebnikov, Kamensky, Vaginov and Zabolotsky better

>>14736567
gulag archipelago is great

>>14737160
HIghly overrated
>>14737012
>>14736567
Overrated. This two mediocre writers

>>14736549
Another ruski here, don't listen to him.

>>14736469
Herzen and faggots plebs like Dobrolyubov and Chirkashevsky ruined literature for half a century. HATE them

>>14736602
Because they are sluts

>>14736271
Like 20% of those aren't even Russian.
Pushkin (mulatto father)
Chaadev (two a's no way that's Slavic)
Gertsen (German)
Karamzin (Kara=black in Turkish)
Tyutchev (gigaturk)
Aksakov (aks, Arabic word)
Nekrasov (Uggo tribe, lol)
Akhmatova (Achmed, need I say more)
Shestov (Jew)
Blok (Jew)
Shmelev (jew)
Bely (only whiteman in this list)
Mandelshtam (jew)
Pasternak (jew)
Babel (another jew)
Mamleev (sounds churka to me)

So it's true what they say about Russians.

Reading Isaac Babel right now.

I'm currently reading Demons as my first russian book, or at least I'm trying to bc it feels like a chore.
I finished chapter two like a month ago and even though I like it so far it just doesn't move me as much as I'd like to.
Idk why but I'm just not eager to finish it.
There are other books like capitalist realism, coin locker babies and a bunch of mangas that I'd much rather like to read but I had already dropped Demons back when I first bought it so dropping it again would make me feel really stupid which I probably am.
I just don't know what to do from here on out bros. I'm interested in russian /lit/ but I can't fucking finish this book for the life of me.
I've been telling myself for weeks to go to a library and force myself to binge read this book until I'm done but so far I couldn't even manage to do that

>>14736602
Being a shameless whore is a woman's natural state

It's why we need the return of religion to keep them properly oppressed

One too many
