I need some recs.
>>
Tolstoevsky is pretty good.
>>
>>10001498
Dostoevstoy is pretty good, too.
>>
>>10001492

Gogol.
>>
>>10001547
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.
>>
>>10001492
Platonov
Bulgakov
>>
>>10001492
Nabokov
Most /lit/ answer yet

>>10001553
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

Where would you go next, anon? Should I read Rudin after Fathers and Sons or some of his short stories?
>>
>>10001492
Bulgakov is a favourite of mine
>>
>>10001553

Gorky is great.
>>
>>10001562
Read My childhood. It is Gorky's diary desu
>>
Isaac Babel
>>
>>10002019
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.
>>10002043
Thanks, anon! I'll look for it
>>
Viktor Nekrasov
M. Bulgakov
Lermentov
>>
>>10001492
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.
>>
>>10001492

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.
>>
>>10001492
Josef Stalin
>>
>>10002114

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

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
>>
>>10001492
Mikhail Zoshchenko
>>
>>10001930
this guy, turgenev, and gogol.
>>
Gogol and Chekhov.

The cheeky brothers

Lermentovs a hero of our time should be required reading for anyone here.
>>
>>10001547
backed hard
>>
F. Sologub is brilliant. I can recomend short stories esp. In the crowd and novel The little (pitty) demon.
>>
>>10004039
Can you redpill me on it?
>>
>>10001492
I recommend Ilf/Petrov's "Twelve Chairs" and its sequel, "The Golden Calf", if you haven't read them.
>>
M. Ageyev is pretty good
>>
>>10004746
>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
