Started with the russians

>Started with the russians

>I've almost read all the major novels by le Dostoevsky
After I'm done I might read war and peace.

Where should I go after I kill the russians?

The Ukrainians
The Polish
The Czech
The Bulgarians
The Serbs
The Croats

Do you seriously believe Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy are the only Russians? From the writers they namedrop alone you should have enough to read for years.

>The only major Russian writers are Tolstoy & Dostoyevsky
You're a pathetic child and nobody likes you.

desu, add Bulgakov, and those 3 are more or less the only good ruskies

>Starting with the best

You fucked up.

>Who is Turgenev
>Who is Bely
>Who is Gogol
>Who is Chekhov
>Who is Gorky
I can keep going if you like.

What about the Strugatsky brothers?

They're good Soviet Sci-Fi. If you like American pulp sci-fi from the same period, you'll love them.
Hard to be a God is their best work in my opinion.

Any movies that are similar which you know of? I really enjoyed hard to be a god, even though I'm neither into sci-fi nor the Russians all that much

Tale of Tales

Roadside Picnic had a movie, called Stalker. Pretty good.

Yeah Stalker but, be warned, Stalker is very very VERY loosely based off of Roadside Picnic. (I also like the movie Stalker better than Roadside Picnic)

soviet union had several really good surreal movies but this is the best one for me

Probably the best war movie I've ever seen. Examines war more as a concept, or maybe a disease or something.

I actually don't recommend people watch it. It could damage you.

>nobody reads pushkin or ilf and petrov
you deserve the things you're reading. add in solzhenitsyn

Solzhenitsyn's writing is honestly not nearly as good as it's made out to be. His fame, like his Nobel, is almost entirely due to politics.

Don't forget:

This

you should read Anna Karenina if you read any big Tolstoy book. also, Dead Souls by Gogol, any of Chekhov's or Nabokov's short stories, We by Zamyatin (OG dystopian lit), Bulgakov is also good

for poetry def check out Anna Akhmatova and Daniil Kharms. Pushkin if you jerk off to feet/like lyrics

sounds made up

And they say there’s no good b8 anymore.

Smart move, unfortunately everything pails in comparison to the Russians.

I recommend anything by Gogol, Checkhov's short stories, and Turgenev's "Sketches from a Hunter's Album"

>t. read 30% of the Veeky Forums top 100 and took inspiration from a few charts and is now an expert

>pails in comparison
Posters like this are a diamond dozen

You caught me. *pale.

>actually thinking that the only good Russian writers are Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky
Literally google Russian authors and you'll have enough to read for years

enough of the same to be honest
