Historical Russian Lit? Anonymous 2016-09-03 22:31:50 Post No. 8469848 [Report]

hey, I have always been interested in the Russian Revolution, the CCCP, the Cold War, etc. Do you guys have any recommendations for actual history books, journalism, and/or literature on this topic? Basically Russia for the past like 150 years.

thanks.

There's Gorky and Luxemburg's letters for Revo stuff, For the complete understanding of Soviets there is Mikhail Sholokhov and his epic And Quiet Flows the Don. Americans wrote much better about Cold War, but Solzhenitsyn is also good.

Pretty sure Orlando Figes' history books are good and readable. Plus he sockpuppeted bad reviews of other historians on Amazon, which is hilarious.

this is good.

also all andrei platonov. especially his short stories, where his irony toward the soviet union is mingled with optimism and a sense of the beauty of the goal of communism.
