Let me debunk the myth, since 2022 pretty much abandoned except for English-speaking posters from Russia and some naive newfags, that there is anything valuable in Russian literature, by picking it apart one writer at a time
>Pushkin
pushkin sucks, it's flowery meaningless bullshit.
the only passable work of his, boris godunov, is still merely a cautionary tale from real history that he didn't come up with himself, and which couldn't even be published in his life due to seething tsarist censors until 1866 when a more liberal despot came along.
even then, if anyone (at least in the West) even knows about boris godunov it's from Mussorgsky's opera the libretto for which he wrote himself, merely basing on pushkin's story (which was a retelling of historical events)
the Polish poet Mickiewicz was friends with Pushkin and frequently jested about his timid poetry which was mostly much ado about nothing
russian literature in general had been so overrated, with dostoevsky taking the crown. literally 2edgy4me & 2deep4me shitlit for adolescents aka im14andthisisdeep
>Tolstoy
is OK... but nothing special. like War and Peace to me is just alright historical fiction but nothing more (like Walter Scott--not as good as A Tale of Two Cities OTOH)
>the only really good writer the russians have
IMHO is Chekhov (the only work of his i dislike is The Bet which is also his only naive piece)
y'know tbf it's kinda awesome how 2022 rekt russia & the russians' reputation so much including in the most crucial previously russia-sympathetic circles such as intellectuals/literatis
God I remember /lit/ before 2022, there'd be actual russiaboos & muh "mysterious russian soul" expounders thinkin themselves all superior and intellectual and tell you you're "filtered"
and now... AHAHAHAHAHA so busted

>Lermontov
here's what Lermontov had to say of Russia at the end
>Goodbye, unwashed Russia,
>Land of slaves, land of masters,
>And you, blue uniforms,
>And you, people, devoted to them.
>Perhaps beyond the wall of the Caucasus,
>I will hide from your pashas,
>From their all-seeing eye,
>From their all-hearing ears.
ahh that's more like it. no fairy tales about some mysterious russian soul heh. but then again, this is all known, is there point in reading about what a shithole that place is? everyone knows this
>fun fact: both lermontov and pushkin died the same sketchy death--to duelists rumored to be agent provocateurs of the tsarist regime (in fact suggesting this is what got lermontov exiled and it's in exile he reportedly died in a duel)
to sum up, my theory is, because of the ever-oppressive nature of all the russian regimes, proper art could never coalesce there, because proper thought couldn't coalesce there, it's like their brains aren't fully developed, they could cut their bellybutton-reaching beards and don Western clothing but inside it's the same horde mindset bugman hivemind as the chinks
thus in the end it's all such contrived tripe. i can't take it seriously, never did, all their output being stunted in this way

truth be told "Russian literature" = Tolstoevsky (and occasionally Chekhov) in Western eyes and it's held in high regard because Dostoevsky was praised by Freud and Juden Peterstein o algo...
it's really a mystery considering dostoevsky is so crap, he's only deep if you're an angsty teen or a midwit. it's embarrassing that he's JBP's be all and end all of "muh meaning" especially considering JBP's mental and career slide with him calling out bedeviled eggs and evil malignant trolls who dare disrespect such esteemed figures holding great meaning and carrying the Western civilization on their backs as Netanyahu and Trump...

You sound like a child corpse fucking Estonian, to be extremely honest.
Just as dumb and retarded.
As a reminder, you're language is shit, everything written is shit, the people who speak it are shit and are more cancerous and pestiferous than Jeets. Your whore, Kallas, is about to bring World War III because owning Putin is more important than stability and economic growth. Your country is doing worse than Romania, once the asshole end of the EU. All the people I know consider Estonians as disgusting duplicitous hypocritical low IQ scum. The smarter ones say they have found no fundamental difference between a Russian and an Estonian: same shit, both behaviourally and aesthetically. Your existence is proof that we're in hell.
Your language, angular, clunky, lacking beauty, lacking words, subpar for analytical thinking, will join the graveyard of all dead and retarded languages in about a century or so.

Utterly insane. You're saying that because they accepted duels and got btfo that the Russian government staged marches and psychically compelled these paranoid weaklings to agree. This is at the same time that the government is being criticized for being too soft on assassins and political murderers.

The western man's obsession with Russian lit/history is how can they keep devouring their own nation and people, utterly destroying themselves through endless self imprisonment, torture, slaughter, corruption, gulags. 100K dead Russian soldiers and what to show for it? Why does the 'Russian soul' force the Russian hand to keep stabbing itself in the heart?

It's so fucking hilarious to watch a guy who doesn't speak Russian shitting on Pushkin. He was a genius, you can't even begin to comprehend all the fantastic stuff he'd done with the language and to the language. He basically singlehandedly reinvented the way people speak Russian, and two hundred years later we're still speaking the way he manifested.
Was a shit prose writer though. So when you see someone saying Pushkin's poems were bad he's talking out of his ass, period.

it's never going to not be comedic that the american right got psyopped into this narrative even as actual russian rightwingers and white nationalists are extremely anti-putin to the point of volunteering to fight on the ukrainian side
>the lugenpresse wants us to be Russophobic
having heard how russians with a brain talk about their own country i can assure you no mainstream western media have ever been even 10% as russophobic as russians who actually know what russia's like. it's the liberal west that always invents excuses of the "they're victims of propaganda" type, in order to maintain their pleasant blankslatist worldview, whereas you talk to an actual russian expat and he'll be like "no, we are in fact cattle. the bolshevik program of dysgenics succeeded in creating homo sovieticus and the change is irreversible. if you want to turn russia into a normal country you need to genocide the entire population and resettle it with somebody else. every day i pray for trump to nuke moscow."

this is the completely correct position. ukraine is in an existential struggle, they are defending themselves against an empire that already attempted their complete extermination in the past. they absolutely must fight to the last man.
>this is why he keeps dragging men into the war including those who try to flee the country, yet all the jews left the country just before the war
the laws for leaving and entering ukraine are in fact being loosened all the time, and men of military age are travelling between ukraine and poland without issue.
>They are gonna fill it with the "new Europeans".
right, so your actual position is that white people will be exterminated either way and should just give up and let it happen. you are a demoralization-spreading rat. get fucked.
>>25053747
>That's already basically happening in europe RIGHT NOW
and? did i say there is only one fight to be fought in the world? european public opinion is changing rapidly and europeans can still reverse their problems via anti-immigration parties seizing power democratically, which is absolutely not going to happen in russia where any attempt to organize around white nationalism will get you arrested or simply murdered by the state police. a ukraine within the european sphere of influence stands a chance of surviving. ukraine absorbed by russia is simply dead.

no, Lermontov completely refused to fire at Martynov, while Martynov aimed directly at his heart. hard to call it a "duel"
even the russians themselves acknowledge the sketchiness--hell, Lermontov was exiled the first time in 1837 precisely for suggesting Pushkin's duel death was sketchy

I'm a Ukrainian and I was never interested in classical Russian literature even before the war, in my schooldays at the beginning of the 2000s I thought it was some bloated shit which kiiled all my interest in it (at least Ukrainian literature had some countryside sovl), but I read many contemporary Russian books, really really liked "Cкaзки тeмнoгo лeca" (read it twice), and as someone who is currently reading The Norton anthology of English literature and Die Deutsche Literatur: Texte und Zeugnisse, I can understand the appeal of understanding foreign mentality. Russian mentality is shit, but sometimes we want to go to the zoo and watch apes, you know.

Buddy I am literally on Ukraine‘s side because I hope that a remilitarized Central Euro bloc comes out of this but you need to be less of a naive retard in thinking that the choice of whether or not to have immigration is about a voter dichotomy which determines the decisions of EE countries as sovereign entities.

the present ruling party of poland has literally campaigned on the premise of being able to negotiate away the brownoid immigration quotas that were about to be imposed on them by the eu and has recently done a victory lap over having successfully negotiated the waiving of said quotas. yes the elected leaders of member states have an impact on eu immigration policy

i'm not even sure what point you're trying to make but you're really twisting facts to get there. immigrants in poland are overwhelmingly white and the non-whites are predominantly asian, which is obviously not ideal but far less problematic than the niggers and arabs flooding western europe. simply walking through the most "multicultural" polish cities will show you that they remain almost totally white. i don't really know how you expect to scare ukrainians into submission to russia with "the eu will flood you with brownoids!" when every ukrainian has either been to poland or knows somebody who has and they know for a fact you can be in the eu and gobble up a fortune in eu handouts without accepting any notable brownoid migration.

The results would be catastrophic, it would mean a victory for globohomo and Ukraine getting fag parades and multiculturalism shoved down its throat.

All classical literature (especially modern from last centuries) is overhyped for political reasons: national prestige, psychological warfare/recruitment factors (foreigners sympathize more with countries with familiar or admired culture), free money for publishers, etc. And the classical stuff from countries with strong state propaganda and lack of relevant contemporary culture is especially overhyped. It is known that Russia spends tons of money on it in all foreign countries, and that the houses of Russian culture are connected with their spy rings.
For me classical literature is mainly valuable from the perspective of historical/social/language/prose development, so I only read it in those languages which I know.

>Ukraine getting fag parades and multiculturalism shoved down its throat.
Westerners don't understand the political discourse in post-Soviet states. We don't care about these things. It was banned during the Soviet era, when leftists were in power, so what? We care only for corruption and income level, that's the main political discourse in Ukraine, for example, and that's what politicians are talking about in their campaigns. In Russia they are talking about geopolitics and Russia's greatness, because there is no real political contest there. All things connected to LGBT narrative here are just indulgent minimalistic concessions for the West: for chuds in Putin's case and for the EU in Ukraine's. When an average person thinks how to survive on their minimal wage, only city crazie care how other men/women fuck each other.

Migrants migrate in prosperous countries, bro. All these years Ukraine was open to the world, but nobody came here (except some occasional sex tourists). There should be some gradual state development map, you cannot just jump over few developmental steps and land into gayish multiculturalism from nothing. So we are OK now, we have space where to grow.

Until the past decade or so, I was always under the impression that Tolstoy was somewhat more popular than Dostoevsky among the general public, especially because of the Gandhi connection, and his whole religion thing which resonated with New Age and Peace Corps types. Though I guess I'm dating myself there.
