Russians be like>Privyet, I am Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov and I live in Citysk, Outer Kabardino-Churkaria krai>I spend my days longingly staring at the vast Siberian expanse, while reading St. Petersburger-approved literature by great writers Anton Checkov, Vladimir Vladimirov, Dostoyevsky, False Dmitry, Pushkin, Nabokov, False Dmitry II, Tolstoi, True Dmitry, performing toska, vranyo and maskirovka all the way)))))>By the way I live in expensive stalinka penthouse given to my babushka by the government for kopecks, but communism is bad o algo>Btw Tchaikovsky wasn't gay, ever.

>>221315932I just rarely get to post this 'jak
>>221315857my college professor made us read Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment.Tolstoy still get his dick sucked here and there by /lit/
>>221315777Think what a great fantasy setting it would be if their culture were more creative, with names like that
>>221316016Tolstoy wrote entertaining books but pretending he was a philosophical great while also hating Rand for writing equally mopey and long-winded fare about the same collective social issues in a similar style with a similar cultural background and with similar cringe erotica elements sprinkled in is so brainletIt's transparently obvious that most of them haven't even read it and are just seething because she was anti-collectivist as well as anti-corporate-collusion, so they just openly lie about her writing
>>221315777Trips
>>221316068This is solved by retardmaxxing and refusing to read literary canon

WORLD LITERATURE TIER LISTS: Ancient Greek, English, FrenchA: Russian, Italian, Spanish, LatinB: Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Scandinavian, Arabic, PersianC: the restNotes:>religious literature doesn’t count>the ranking is about languages or language families, not nationalities>it takes intrinsic quality, but also global influence, into account>this is seen from an international perspective, i.e. reading in translation—obviously a native Chinese reader would rate Chinese literature differentlyOpinions?
>>221320245Forgot German in the A tier, sorry for kraut erasureA: Russian, Italian, Spanish, Latin, German
>>221320285Thank you! It often makes me a bit sad that Thomas Mann is often forgotten
>>221321397Plenty of greats in the 20th century for German literature.
>>221321920who dat ninja
>>221315777The amount of Russian seething on /int/ just makes me like them more. The flyover countries seethe about us all the time too, so the Russians have to be doing something right.
Russia is just an African country with industry
>>221322552With?
>>221322001Ernst Jünger, as mentioned in the pic.Best known for his war diaries, but I prefer his novels and psychedelic writings.
>>221323705I have only read Storm of Steel. Which other books from him would you recommend?
>>221315932They have Frida Kahlo. Their art is more visual than intellectual.
>>221315777Russian literature is boring, pretentious shit. I have no idea who reads that stuff and what for.
>>221324664Because its good /lit/, simple as. Russian /lit/ filters so many people mainly because they only think of like Dostoevsky and Tolstoy and not any of their wacky sci fi / action books which would appeal to their more midwit "need constant dopamine rushes NOW" labrat mentality even if most of the greater themes of the books go over their heads. But theres plenty of "me like when things go boom" and "me horny" pulp stuff from Russia for you to enjoy as well.
>>221325028Examples of boom and horny Russian pulp?
>>221324228Heliopolis is a neat novel, very modern for a book published in 1949.
