Who are your favourite Russian authors that aren't Tolstoy or Dostoevsky?

I need some recs.

Tolstoevsky is pretty good.

Dostoevstoy is pretty good, too.

Gogol.

That's a funny way to spell Chekhov.

I liked Turgenev's Fathers and Sons, haven't read anything else from him yet. Looking forward to reading Petersburg by Bely, I've seen a lot of praise for it. Gogol's Overcoat would be a good starting story for you, and if I knew where to start with Chekhov's stories I'd probably recommend some, too.

Platonov
Bulgakov

Nabokov

Oh, I also read Gorky's Reminiscences of Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy. Wasn't really interesting, I might try some of his short stories or The Mother. Not sure.

Bely

Papa Dugin

>Turgenev

this

Where would you go next, user? Should I read Rudin after Fathers and Sons or some of his short stories?

Bulgakov is a favourite of mine

i too am looking forward to reading andrei bely. careful no to pick the reduced version.

Gorky is great.

Read My childhood. It is Gorky's diary desu

Isaac Babel

I already got a copy (greek translation desu, a few days ago), just checked and it's the correct one. Good thing you mentioned it though, man. I didn't know there was a reduced version so other anons will keep an eye out.
Thanks, user! I'll look for it

Viktor Nekrasov
M. Bulgakov
Lermentov

Read Gogoljs Dead Souls.

Some other good recommendations:

Ljermontov - Hero of our time; his poetry too if you're into it.
Sholokhov - And quiet floats the Don; Stories (especially Fate of a man)
Fyodor Sologub is pretty good too.
Arseny Tarkovsky's poetry if you're into it.
Mayakovsky - same as above.

Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin, Fyodor Sologub.

Krzhizhanovsky
Zamyatin
Erofeyev
Dovlatov
Pelevin

On the "lighter" side, Teffi, Mayakovsky, Daniil Kharms.

I may be mistaken, but no one said Pushkin—so, Pushkin.

Why are the Russians so great lads? I cant even decide they are all awesome.

Recommend Turgenev as less read than some of the others.

Josef Stalin

wow you have earned your edgy badge in record time we shall get it in the mail post haste

This nigga right here, Vasili Aksionov, I truly enjoyed this novel

Strugatsky brothers obviously

Turgenev for olde
Vodolazkin for contemporary

Bely, he's my favorite author in general

Bunin. He's a great writter;although his "Mitya's Love" was to strong on the Werther--quite inferior to Goethe's piece-- feels, I felt feverish when I finished

Mikhail Zoshchenko

this guy, turgenev, and gogol.

Gogol and Chekhov.

The cheeky brothers

Hard to be a god - strugatsky brothers

Lermentovs a hero of our time should be required reading for anyone here.

backed hard

F. Sologub is brilliant. I can recomend short stories esp. In the crowd and novel The little (pitty) demon.

Can you redpill me on it?

I recommend Ilf/Petrov's "Twelve Chairs" and its sequel, "The Golden Calf", if you haven't read them.

M. Ageyev is pretty good

>soviet comedy
trash. about as good as an episode of i love lucy after a few martinis and a subpar fuck.

Why is russian lit so fucking boring

Why is realism in general so fucking boring

>all russian literature is realism

Have you read it?

yep, trash.

>Who are your favourite Russian authors that aren't pre 21st century?
