Why is Russian literature so polarizing?
They can't get to the fucking point

>>24827387How did Twitter become full of more nonsensical trash than 4chan?
Some people really can only see the world through a political lens. They are never going to make it.

>>24827387"Russian Literature" in general is well regarded and seen as difficult, making it a common way for pseuds to feign culture and knowledge (Lex Fridman for example). So I guess there's a pushback to its common adoption as shorthand for depth and sophistication, but I don't know if there's actually a sizeable amount of people who hate Russian Literature in totality. Unlike most traditions, pretty much every literate person will have read a good amount of Russian Literature and have a favorite (Pushkin <3)
>>24827387X: Blaze Your Glory is full of philistines and I think this rejection of everything Russian is stupid and also counter-productive to their own goals. A whole bunch of people from the Russian literary / intelligentsia (and also musical) culture have left the country since the war started. I don't know what Tolstoy or Dostoevsky would think about it, but if you've had any interaction at all with the Russian opposition, it's a bunch of artists and poets and writers (who've read Tolstoy and Dostoevsky), just like it was during the Cold War. But this kind of brainrot always happens in wars. It turns people into zombies and destroys their critical thinking. Russia's liberal intelligentsia are also savage critics of the Russian state, and are also far braver and take far greater risks than the American left. The Russian statate takes their power seriously, and they're not wrong, and they have special groups tasked with assassinating them. For real. I'm not making this up.
Twitter screencap threads should be an automatic permaban.
>>24827933This but unironically
when it becomes socially acceptable to hate something, you wind up with normies overdoing it
>>24827387>Tolstoy the anti-war pacifist vegan>russian imperialismretard alert
>>24827387I get Dostoevsky (and even at that, they just read White Nights and maybe Crime and Punishment), but Tolstoy? Really?
>>24828117Very succinctly put.
It isn't polarizing, you are just trying to make another "Russia Good" thread
>favorite authors of people who don't read.Dostoyevsky is in my top 3 but they are right. Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy are two of the lowest hanging fruit in the literary world. You have people like Hillary Clinton saying their favorite book is by Fyodoro
>>24827387It's not. Bitter Ukranians are just trying to revise its history because their dads and brothers are coming home in body bags. Russian literature has been widely popular world over.

>>24828210I swear, Tolstoy was more popular with establishment types than Dosto not so long ago, what with all the pacifist, Christian-but-not-institutional-Christianity stuff.
