War & Peace (great, read it in two months)
Hero of Our Time (good but not great)
Eugene Onegin (poetry is beautiful, characters are awful)
Complete works of Pushkin (fucking hell)
Dead Souls (doesn't fall to its expectations, but not great comparing to other works of Gogol)
Gogol short stories too
Fathers and Sons (prose is wonderful, themes are not clear enough)
Tales of Saltykov-Shedrin (don't like)
Who Lives Happy in Russia (progressive bullshit 2bh but folklore elements are nice)
Maksim Gorkiy "The Lower Depths", "Mother Iezergil" (pretty good but nothing spectacular)
Solzhenitsin "One Day of Ivan Denisovich" (anti-soviet propaganda 101)
