Is there any good literature from this region outside of Russia, Romania and the Czech Republic?Give examples.
>>25168532Poland has Schulz and Gombrowicz. Heard good things about Witkiewicz, Andrzejewski and Parnicki too.Plus Joseph Conrad and Jan Potocki are from Poland.
>>25168812poland is based op, check out some of their stuff
>>25168532Ukraine gave the world Gogol. Without Gogol you have no Dostoevsky or Tolstoy. His short stories are also cool, Kafka before Kafka.Poland has Sienkiewicz and Lem.Hungary Laszlo Kranshorkai, Sandor Marai
>>25169016Didn't know Ukraine invented time travel
>>25168812Bruno Schulz has a pretty good magic realist touch of interwar Jewish Poland, a world completely lost
>>25169103Why only Ukraine? All countries on the map first appeared after 1989.

>>25168532Hungary has pic related. It’s a famous play in the country about a working class man who falls in to money and then hires a former Prussian junker’s servant to teach his house etiquette but the butler turns things upside down. It’s very much 1930s in style and in humor. I grew up with these kind of movies so I enjoyed it a lot.
For Slovakia, I recommend House in the Hillside by Martin Kukučín or Daughter of Glory by Ján Kollár
>>25169103muttoid retard or russian mongoloid? Which one are you?
>>25169103Why would it need to? Dostojevskij very much admited that he was to a large degree inspired by Gogol. Anon, is however, retarded to claim that without Gogol there would be no Dostojevskij. And even more so Tolstoj.
>>25169769His implication is that Ukraine didn’t exist in Gogol’s time. It is a fake construct which dates no earlier than to Stepan Bandera’s OUN movement in the 30s and the Ukrainian SSR haphazardly drawn up to combat ‘Great Russian chauvinism.’
>>25169818Imagine being stupid enough to get brainwashed by russian mongoloids. Especially cringe for hungarian.
>>25169821Vladimir Lenin and Stepan Bandera were diametrically opposed in ideology yet both supported an Ukraine state to combat ‘Russian chauvinism.’ Ukraine has no reason for existence except to weaken Russia for outside interests. > Ивaн Aлeкcaндpoвич Ильин: "Иcтopия eщё нe cкaзaлa cвoeгo пocлeднeгo cлoвa""Укpaинa пpизнaeтcя нaибoлee yгpoжaeмoю чacтью Poccии в cмыcлe oтдeлeния и зaвoeвaния.

>>25169836>idiot brainwashed by russians gets laughed at for being idiot brainwashed by russians>starts screeching in russiannow that's embarrasing. How stupid are you? 80IQ or less? Can you tie your shoelaces? When you walk in street do people point at you and shout? Do they perhaps throw peanuts at you?
>>25168532Their favorite passtime is nerd bashing. Ofc there’s no good writers
>>25169853The war ends when Ukraine takes troops out of Donbas (which it hasn’t even fully occupied since Poroshenko’s administration) and renounces all attempts at joining NATO. It is really that easy for them to end the war and yet they refuse to do it.
>>25169853The current administration of my own country outright calls Zelensky a liar and dictator. The only low IQ ones hold foreign nations over their own.
>>25169861When they tried to make a peace deal that would involve reintegration of Donbass in 2019 (one of Zelensky's campaign pledges) they had to deal with massive protests organized by the pro-Western political block and nationalist paramilitaries. The latter have only grown more powerful since then. Whoever sues for peace now will probably get assassinated.
>>25169861and people say that comedy is dead
>>25169892Ultimately it’s up to Donetsk which side they want to join but the ideal solution should have been the ‘Novorossiya’ confederation from 2015- The four republics as independent countries of their own without foreign troops though allied with Russia like Belarus is. Ukraine should then be allowed limited NATO membership though with stipulation of no weapons and missiles in the country (the flight time from Kiev to Moscow was mentioned as one of reasons for war in Putin’s initial address) with New Russian confederation as the Belarusian/ Transnistria type bumper state.
>>25168532One would think the balkans produced some good writers after the wars.
>>25168532Poland is not part of Eastern Europe.
>>25169896I believe in ‘the Spirit of Anchorage.’ MDGA (make Donetsk great again)

God, you people are fucking gay.If we're going to do this, at least recommend some good lit centered around the Ukraine war. It's been a while, surely someone has written SOMETHING of merit by now.
>>25170024They’re all dead, anon.
>>25170047Civilians were writing books about WW2 during WW2. There weren't that many but they did exist.
>>25170061You should write it.
>>25170085...That is actually the plan. I'm only in the absolute beginning stages with it though and it's going to be a work of, uh, transgressive fiction (god I hate this cringe pretentious label but that's the best way I can describe it) so I won't pretend that it'll be a very accurate, unbiased or nuanced portrayal of the conflict.

>>25170243Damn this seems cool as fuck thanks anon
