>once overflow with otherworldly wisdom, write the greatest books of all time,Because that never happened, you just like hearing apologetics for your religion.
>Why do the Russian Greats end right at the Russian Revolution?Beats me.
>>25318410French literature didn't die with the French Revolution tho why's that
>>25318395brain drain from communism, duh
>>25318395The Bolshevik Revolution >>25318827The French aristocracy were degenerate hedonistic retards, comparatively speaking.
>>25318827>>25318837Also the Bolsheviks were far more anti intellectual at various stages.They targeted artists and priests more.
>why did Russian books promoted and marketed everywhere in the west suddenly not got promoted anymore when Russia was newly called an evil empire by every state and marketing team and publishing house in the west>>25318838Kek fucking Pushkin's shit had to be revised multiple times because of Tsarist censors
>>25318846Who cares? Censorship exists everywhere, even in the dedicated anti censorship country. You sound like a larping thirdie.
>>25318850I'm not the one saying the USSR lacked literature because of censorship
>>25318853And?
>>25318855And great Russian literature produced under the USSR did not get widespread promotion in the west is the reason you don't know about it. And Quiet Flows the Don is a masterpiece but it will never get much promotion in the west BECAUSE it is a Soviet work
>>25318395Deep into the 20th century we got so far into language you just can't translate it in any way properly anymore.
the same reason everyone else did. you can say the same for americans, the english, the french, etc.
Because communists destroyed Russian culture. Well, not only that - they fucked this country over in so many aspects is difficult to describe. Very few people truly understand the magnitude of what happened.Imagine if your country were taken over by a totalitarian sect whose goal is to completely destroy all existing social institutions and culture and build it anew from the ground up, in the vision of their utopia. Practically everything that is happening in Russia right now is a direct consequence of 70+ years of communist rule. t. Russian
>>25318395Some of that is just the route of the nineteenth century novel though where the nineteenth century novel has all this gravitational sway with regard to the context to the history to the novel and the idea of the novel or something like that

>>25318892Cool it down with the antisemitism.>>25318861They certainly did? Ivan Bunnin and other writers who openly criticized socialism received widespread acclaim, but their works just fizzed out.
