Boring as batshit.

Back to Tolstoy, Turgenev, Chekhov, Gogol I go

I agree.

Go.

boring compared to tolstoy ?

>tolstoy
nah. the other three are spectacular though. tolstoy is in the same lughable league as Dostoevsky in being a bloated melodramatic hypocrite.

The way I see it, is that the man has been through such a horrible life that it's not for me to judge his world view. he was probably crazy his entire life, but his work is nonetheless very interesting

why would you read any of those over solzhenitsyn

There's no way this isn't bait

great thread op

Pretty much all great Russian authors are woman hating autists with psychotic religious beliefs. that's what makes them so great

>implying they didn't have the right idea

i guess but some are still better authors than others.

You have shit taste

>hypocrite

how

>how was tolstoy, the slave rapist that moralized on marriage and religiously inclined asceticism a hypocrite?

I meant Dostoevsky. The thread is about him after all.

oh dosty? oh i was lying about him so people would be less likely to attack me for shitting on tolstoy. dostoevsky is deffo not as good as turgenev or gogol or chekhov fersure.

Chekhow was neither religious nor misogynist, for lack of better word. He disliked women, yes, but more in sarcasti way.
