What is it about the history/geography/culture of Russia that led to the collective prolificacy of writers and poets as Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, filmmakers like Tarkovsky, Einstein, etc?
Not that other cultures don't have their share of insightful artists, but there seems to be a common poetic thread between all these artists that points back to the culture of Russia. Maybe it's just how fucking cold Siberia is

They are the boundary between east and west. On the outskirts of Europe. They struggled between embracing western ideas and keeping national identity. There was also lots of strife such as famine, corruption and nihilism.
Also high average intelligence.

it is apparent that:
a) you don't know a thing about how and where russian authors lived
b) your taste in literature is informed solely by 4chan
conclusion:
you are a faggot
