Greatest pieces/authors of Russian Literature.

You won't find much luck in WW2 Era stuff that isn't eyewateringly vapid Stalinist propaganda, the master and the margherita is the one exception to that which jumps out at me.

The likes of Chekov, Dostoevsky and such are by far the best period in Russian litersture, read them instead tbqh

Your bait lacks subtlety.

Grossman's Life and Faith.
It's a masterpiece and i've only seen a few guys on /lit/ who've read it.
I agree on Chekov and Dosto being interesting, but anyone who doesn't know about Grossman and goes around talking about Russian lit, is a disgusting pseud and belongs on reddit.

It's interesting to know about the 19th century greats, but there's (to my feeling) more to gain from being familliar with post-revolution Russia, WW2 era history and maybe read some of the other writers that wrote under communism (Solchenitzyn, Bulgakov..).
